Leicestershire Combined Fire Authority Vote to Remove 2nd Pump From Oakham Fire Station

Leicestershire Combined Fire Authority Vote to Remove 2nd Pump From Oakham Fire Station


Recommendation 1: remove 2nd pump at Oakham, ride with 5 on remaining pump
CFA Decision: Passed. 15 Yes, 1 abstention

As for the public money £150.000 from Tory Rutland County Council pledged
to save the second pump. The Fire Authority is still exploring  the possibility of
taking the money to use towards the purchase of a new rapid response unit.

Although original info tweeted suggested the use of public money had been
agreed.

New recommendation: Use £150k to trial a rapid response unit
CFA Decision: Passed

As normal the Tories mislead the public.

All crews throughout Leicestershire and Rutland will be cut from 5 to 4
