Mark Whybro retired from Fire and Rescue NSW in 2021 after 40 years’ service, ultimately as Assistant Commissioner with state-wide responsibility for prevention and education. He continues to work in public safety: as an Adjunct Fellow helping with fire safety research at Western Sydney University and engaged by FPA Australia as State Advocacy Manager to help with the significant building regulatory reform program underway in NSW.
Since its relaunch in 2019, Mark has chaired the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition Australia, a strategic partnership between AFAC and FPA Australia, established as the national independent source of information to the community, industry and Governments about the life-saving value of residential sprinklers.
