This marked the beginning of the organisation’s transformation journey and necessitated a restructure for the Transformation Directorate. This new structure will provide the capabilities and capacity the London Fire Brigade (LFB) requires to sustain transformative change across the Brigade, deliver the 2023 Community Risk Management Plan and enabling the LFB to provide the best possible service to London and Londoners.
