2 Firefighters die
Andy the Landy:
Tring to close our local station :shock: nearest one then is 3 miles away. SWMBO and a few others did a 24hour protest the other week (with the help of each Watch). Damn good Lads doing a Damn fine Job. Always sad to hear of live's lost.

Nice words from everyone - I'll pass them onto my Watch ( Blue ) the lads will appreciate them.
Andy - Top marks to your good lady and her friends =D>
you clearly know what they're trying to achieve.
This is the time when we in the fire service are the ones needing help, the general publics help - without it we will see wholesale closures and downgrading of fire stations the length and breadth of the country and all for what ? To save a few quid !
What price public safety ?
Lobby your MP's, your local Fire Authority members, the press, anyone with any influence - they will listen to you - You are the ones that elect them.
Who do you trust more? A Firefighter or a Politician ?
If nobody does anything, the decimation of the worlds most renowned fire service, I fear, is inevitable and we will see more deaths and serious injuries to my colleagues and the public.

Even from the far side of the world, as an ex firefighter my thoughts and sympathy are with the families and colleagues of these 2 firefighters.

there is no answer to that my trust is in those who ride or who have ridden the big red machines and yes you aswell.
May be get muddyweb to do some stickers i cant think of 1 brigade or emergency service in this country or across the world who doesn't have a 4x4.
