Union members say the plans would lead to “serious and dangerous shortfalls in the crewing of other appliances”
Full-time fire cover will be brought back to Ashfield Fire Station in November, five years after it was controversially reduced to part-time only. In 2018, Nottinghamshire Fire Authority decided to remove full-time crewing in favour of on-call only cover at night, in a move criticised by local politicians and residents.
One member of the union said the plans would lead to “serious and dangerous shortfalls in the crewing of other appliances”. As part of the plans, four firefighters will be promoted at a cost of £36,000 – but the FBU says this will remove staff from fire engines. Mr West said: “We are continuing work which looks at improvements to Ashfield Fire Station to make sure it is fit for purpose. It will feel and look like a nice new station.”
