Simon Tuhill says there are 'strong feelings' after his predecessor was in post for only 10 days.
The service's fire chief at the beginning of July, Mark Jones, resigned on 7 July, the opening day of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, to focus on recovering from injury.Nicci Marzec also resigned from her other roles at the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner's office
Ms Marzec's brief tenure was marred with questions about her lack of frontline experience and the nature of her relationship with Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Stephen Mold, When she resigned on 21 July, Mr Mold said their "friendship" had "become the story" and he would not quit, despite calls from the Fire Brigades Union to resign.On 27 July, two female panel members walked out of a county fire meeting, in which Mr Tuhill was appointed, over the "rash decision" to appoint Ms Marzec.
Labour councillor Zoe McGhee said Ms Marzec had been "bullied out and been the subject of media attention."FBU's general secretary, Matt Wrack, described the situation as "chaotic and embarrassing" and asked the Home Office to intervene. Mr Tuhill described his first few days in the role as "a baptism of fire", having joined the service "completely fresh" from Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service."The focus is on improving, getting better, listening to what my staff think and moving forward together in that."
