Cuts cost lives
Fire services across the UK face unprecedented funding cuts at a time when wildfire incidents are at record highs. FBU General Secretary Steve Wright, along with Executive Council member Colin Brown, Regional Secretary Duncan Stewart-Ball, and Regional Treasurer Dave Pike, discuss the devastating impact of austerity on fire and rescue services. From station closures to appliances off the run, they reveal how 15 years of cuts are putting communities at risk when they need protection most.
