No Fire Service Cuts
Cornwall County Council plan to make major cuts to the fire service, cutting 35 wholetime firefighter posts – one in six wholetime firefighters; taking longer to get to 999 incidents at night in Camborne and Falmouth.
These cuts will impact across the whole of Cornwall because fire crews
frequently work outside their station areas. The longer we take to arrive at
fires the more damage your home or business will suffer.
These cuts will reduce our 999 response capability to other major incidents
such as major flooding, road traffic accidents and major outdoor fires.
Please:
■ Write to your County Councillor opposing these cuts;
■ Write to your local MP
■ Sign our petitions
PROTEST RALLY AND MARCH
31st May at 10am gathering at Union Place ending at Lemon
Quay, Truro.
Please join your local fire crews in our protest
against these cuts.
