Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue - Strike Action Announced

The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) has announced that further strike action will take place on two separate occasions either side of  this coming weekend. 

Friday 1 November             from               18:30 to 23:00 

During this time it may mean that you are more likely to be at home, either entertaining or visiting friends on the Friday night, enjoying Bonfire Night or other celebrations with candles and fireworks.

Monday 4 November         from               06:00 to 08:00

On the Monday morning you may be busy preparing breakfast for the family and/or travelling to work.

Whatever you are doing during these times we would like to remind you to Take Extra Care.

Although RBFRS has contingency plans in place, during any period of industrial action they will have significantly fewer resources. They will therefore be prioritising ‘life critical’ incidents, such as house fires and road traffic collisions where people are trapped.

RBFRS will still be responding to 999 calls but they are asking members of the public to take extra care to reduce the risk of fire and road traffic collisions.
