We all should have some form of Insurance.
Whether it be-
House Insurance
Car insurance
OR Life Insurance
We hope we never have to make a claim on them,
But they are there for peace of mind!

When taking out insurance, we all have a choice of the type of Policy to have
The Council Tax Precepts (along with funding from the Taxes that you pay), Pay for the Fire Service (and Police). It is your insurance that in the unlikely event you need them, they will be there.
But................. what happens when the Fire Service (and other Public Services) are cut and the service you pay for is reduced?
What......... can you do then?
Apparently – Nothing!
You can’t claim a discount or refund for the reduction in service.

But you do a have a voice!
SO when plans are proposed to reduce these services......... you can object.
Tell the Politicians locally and nationally,
Tell the unaccountable Puppet Masters - The Chief and Assistant Chief Fire Officers who concoct these plans.
NO! - NOT ACCEPTABLE

They say that the fitting of Smoke alarms means that you will be less likely to die in the fire.
But
only if you are able to get out, in the first place.

They do not stop fires from happening!
FACT - The longer a fire burns, the more severe it will get. So the longer it takes for a Fire Appliance to reach you, the more chance there is of you losing all your possessions - even if you have managed to get yourself and family out!
BUT ... what about all those memories and the family pet?

And then the next year watch your insurance premiums increase .
(More than the amount it would take to maintain the current level of service!).

The fire service argues that calls are reducing.................
The figures they have used to bamboozle the public and baffle the politicians which have been manipulated so much; you've heard the saying;-
Lies,Damn Lies and Statistics. -Nothing is nearer to THE TRUTH .
The Consultation document is so full of Gobbledygook that to the lay person it is undecipherable, (and councillors are just like you and I - lay people)
But they are still needed just in case! Just like your other insurance policies.
The Fire Service has a duty to consult.
Have you had a Public meeting in your area?
If not DEMAND ONE !
The so called "consultation period" closes on 30th November.

Just want to say, love the blog. And wish you all great success. You are right about CFO Pilling he is not a fire fighter but a yes man for David Cameron. He should hang his head in shame.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I agree with you, he seems to be revelling in these proposed cuts. He has increased his pen pushing managers and is happy to reduce actual fire cover, the wages budget increase for these people is over a million pounds a year increased from 2011. And he always puts other staff in the spotlight, the coward. He should stick his head above the parapet and face the public. Same with the fire authority councillors, they will say one thing and then vote cuts through. If tney do DON'T VOTE FOR THEM AGAIN!
