Picture this nightmare: you arrive at a blazing fire in the dead of night with just four firefighters. You can’t send them in to rescue anyone until backup arrives — and that could take 10 to 15 minutes.

Cutting Crews Puts Lives on the Line

Seconds count in a fire. The first few minutes can mean the difference between life and death. But your council wants to slash crews from five down to four. That means no proper search and rescue missions under fire service safety rules.

Your Home Could Be Next

This isn’t just about numbers — it’s about your family’s safety. Your home could catch fire with loved ones trapped inside. Yet, council bosses are pushing these cuts without letting the public have their say or holding a full council meeting.

The Dangerous Lie They’ll Tell You

They’ll claim fires don’t happen at night. But when they do, the consequences are catastrophic.

Demand action now before these dangerous cuts put lives at risk.
