Leading the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service

摘要

Moving to a new service and a new country, Martin is now leading a fire and rescue service of just under 8,000 staff covering over 80,000 square km, making it geographically the largest in Europe. "It's a stunning, stunning country to live in," he says. Rather than be intimidated by the scale of his new job, Martin thinks of it as a Fire and Rescue Service with people. "That's how I've got around the size and scale. I genuinely try not to engage with 'it's an enormous service', otherwise it would just fry my brain."
