Here is what I say.
I believe that revision of provision is best served by rapid
response then based on assesment additional support pulled in as necessary. Not
all fires/incidents need the full crew and fullsize tender. Why not provide
smaller vehicles with basic equipment to attend small fires and incidents
quickly say 2 crew. the standard Fire Engine and crew can be called in if
necessary. Whilst I do not object to fire crews assisting with other
emergencies when not involved otherwise I think this has a detrimental effect on
fire crews. Facilities could/should be shared across the blue light services.
