'Broad brush' ESA review damages RFS chief's reputation, volunteers say

ACT Rural Fire Service volunteers do not experience a culture of fear identified in a management review of the ESA, the volunteers' association has said.

The reputation of the ACT Rural Fire Service chief officer has been wrongly damaged by a damning but "broad brush" management review of the Emergency Services Agency, the association representing volunteer firefighters has said.

The ACT Volunteer Brigades Association said it had written to Chief Minister Andrew Barr to highlight its support for the Rural Fire Service chief officer, Rohan Scott, and call for the report to be rewritten.
