Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)

These Regulations amend the Fire Services (Appointments and Promotion) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1979 by substituting provisions relating to eligibility for appointment of the Chief Fire Officer.

The minimum level of rank in which previous service is required remains at Divisional Officer (Grade 1). Completion of the Fire Service College’s Senior Officers' Course or the Senior Command Course remains a qualification for such appointment as an alternative to the existing requirement of completion of the Brigade Command Course. Provision is now made for the eligibility of officers with equivalent experience and qualifications. The Regulations also provide that any function relating to the appointment of a chief fire officer may be delegated to a committee of the Fire Authority.

These Regulations revoke and replace the Fire Services (Appointments and Promotion) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002 which were annulled by Resolution of the Northern Ireland Assembly on 7th October 2002.
