Firefighters warn government cuts will put lives at risk

FIREFIGHTERS have warned that government cuts to fire and rescue services will put lives at risk in England.

Fire Brigades Union general secretary Steve Wright warned that “austerity under a Labour government is still austerity,” pushing back against a real-terms cut to services across England.

“Next time there is a fire, a flood, or an extreme weather event, the public will ask why their fire service is unable to respond effectively,” Mr Wright said.
