Tayside Fire and Rescue Board Performance Monitoring Sub-Committee

On Monday morning I attended a meeting of the Performance Monitoring Sub-Committee of Tayside Fire and Rescue Board. This sub-committee looked at the work of the internal auditors of the Fire and rescue Board.

I asked a question about fuel security in the fire service, the details I asked about can be found on page 9 of this document. I was pleased to be told that there were no concerns over theft of fuel. The concerns are over an IT system designed to monitor fuel usage which was meant to save time and be more accurate but which is not fully operational yet. This is disappointing but I was reassured that there was no suggestion that fuel was going missing.
