If after the big fire service strike, they hadn't had reform forced on them, with a much more diverse range of skills like, water or steep ground related, the fire service would have be literally out of their depth this month. They have little to moan about.
The forces should be moaning, always the first to lose holidays and no overtime pay etc.. unlike police, fire, ambulance... Glad the mrts are getting some praise though.
