Community Service Medal - Ray Skinner

Published on 24 March 2010

The second Community Service Medal presentation goes to a member of the Essex County Fire and Rescue service. He has protected the lives and homes of the people of Essex and Hertfordshire for 27 years, 14 of which have been served in the Epping Forest area.

For the last five years our medal winner has been the Essex Community Commander for Harlow and Epping, ensuring both Fire Safety and the operational side of the service. Under his command, the division has become the best performing in the County.

With a broader remit as Chairman of the Essex Resilience Forum Support Group, he has been pivotal in the co-ordination of emergency response planning among blue-light emergency services, health and local authorities across the county.
