Watch Commander Adrian Hutt - March winner
Watch Commander Hutt identified a need to roll out a national campaign regarding Carbon Monoxide Poisoning. In an effort to make communities safer he worked with John Moores University gathering data, acquiring funding and devising a training programme, all of which is above his remit as Watch Commander
He represented the local Brigade in the House of Lords several times and engaged with political bodies, Gas Safe and industry leaders with the aim of improving safety in communities whilst addressing the health inequalities within the UK. This has subsequently brought other Fire and rescue Services on board supporting their Prevention Strategies
Back in 2010, Marmot was an unknown concept, but it is now recognised within the Fire Service’s strategic thinking and localised application in the form of Level Three planning, working within local authority organisations and charities, improving lives to save lives.
Watch Commander Hutt has achieved recognition on both local and national levels demonstrating the collaboration between both the Fire Service and local authorities.
The actions he has taken have been instrumental in making our communities a safer place to live and work and he is therefore truly deserving of this Good Citizen Award.
