Rob Allen has been welcomed as a new Assistant Chief Fire Officer for Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service (WFRS) after Ben Brook was promoted to chief fire officer in September 2021.

Father of two Rob, whose career started in 1998 with West Midlands Fire Service, has moved to WFRS from Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (HWFRS).

In his previous role Rob worked closely with the police to create a state of the art department to handle 999 calls for both departments together.

He was also significantly involved in the response to the winter floods after Storm Dennis in February 2020.

Rob is a Fellow of the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE), where he takes an active role, including as a senior examiner.

He said: "I am delighted to be joining Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service and Warwickshire County Council, and look forward to meeting staff and partners in the coming weeks and months."

Chief fire officer Ben Brook said: "I am certain that Rob will be an excellent addition to our team and will add huge value to our service."
