Policy text

Conference applauds the work of our Fire Control Members. It is well known the stress and pressure our Members are under on a daily basis.

Conference also recognises that this stress and pressure is greatly compounded by inadequate crewing levels.

Conference calls upon the Executive Council to form a task and finish group which will consider and report on:

    • The current crewing and supervision levels in emergency Fire Control rooms
    • How robust those arrangements are taking into account the requirements of reasonable foreseeable operating scenarios
    • The resultant risks to fire crews and to the public.

This work will be completed and published prior to Conference 2024.
