And the older ones such as Gipton its likely to be worse as in the "olden days" they were not so risk averse re contamination. Surely the price of these stations is dropping all the time and potential customers not stupid enough to by them now - unless what you say is true about Otley of course.

When they tried to downgrade it several years ago they wanted to make it "Day Staffing" meaning that the personnel were on station during the weekday but on call from home at night time and weekends. The reason they tried to get away with this is because at the time there were enough Firefighters that lived in the area whom they hoped would be enticed be "additional" payments. They tried to convince the local community that there would be no delay in the fire appliances responding to a call whether it was at 3pm in the afternoon or 3 am in the morning. They would liked to have implemented "close call" but there there are not enough Ff's living within the catchment area of the particular station. They manage to do it at Wetherby, but only because it would be impossible for Ff's to buy properties in that area on their normal salary.,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-622819600761790232.post-82585419452451149832012-10-24T20:22:07.815+01:002012-10-24T20:22:07.815+01:00is there any mention of how the "super statio...is there any mention of how the "super stations will be crewed" Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
