NO DANGEROUS CUTS TO AVON FIRE & RESCUE SERVICE
Avon Fire & Rescue Service are consulting on plans to cut frontline firefighter jobs and reduce life saving cover across the Service. The Fire Brigades Union in Avon believe these plans are dangerous and are asking for your help to get them reversed.
Why is this important?
In an emergency, every second counts. The cuts being proposed by Avon Fire & Rescue Service would compromise our ability to get to an emergency quickly and would limit our use of vital, specialist equipment to fight fires and rescue people.
The cuts would mean the loss of 49 firefighter jobs, removal of full time cover at night from Yate Fire Station and downgrading vital aerial appliances and a heavy rescue tender which covers the motorway network. We know times are tight, but these cuts would compromise the safety of the public and of firefighters. Demand that public safety is put ahead of budget cuts. Please sign our petition and say NO to dangerous cuts.
Thank you, Avon FBU.
