WYFRS will continue to provide emergency fire and rescue cover during any strike though the level of response may be more limited than at other times. The emergency crews attending may have fewer specialist skills and may not be familiar with the incident site or local geography.
Therefore, colleagues are requested to be extra vigilant during this and any subsequent period of industrial action, in addition to continuing to follow normal procedures. As ever, our focus is on prevention rather than reaction.
