Bermuda appoints new chief fire officer
Dana Lovell has been appointed the new Chief Fire Officer of the Bermuda Fire & Rescue Service (BFRS).
The Ministry of National Security said Lovell, a 38-year veteran in firefighting and emergency response, brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the BFRS.
The ministry said Lovell has served as Acting Chief Fire Officer since May 2022. Before his appointment, he served as Assistant Chief Fire Officer, Divisional Officer for Operations and Staff Officer, among other ranks.
In applauding Lovell's appointment, Minister of National Security Michael Weeks commented: "We are very grateful to have Mr Lovell in this role. He brings the highest personal integrity, having worked up the ranks as a firefighter.
"His impressive record of service to the BFRS and his rise to the highest office in the organisation is proof that Bermudian firefighters can expect a rewarding and exciting career."
Lovell said he’s humbled by the opportunity to lead the BFRS.
"The future of the BFRS is vivid, and I hope my appointment will serve as a shining example of the many opportunities available within the organisation. I've always said that when you join the BFRS, it's not just a job –a career,” he said. "I also wish to thank my family for their support throughout my years of service. Without their support, it would have been difficult to endure the many challenges and pressures accompanying such important work and dedication."
