The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) has announced that
further strike action will take place on two separate occasions this
coming weekend.
Friday 13 December from 18:00 to 22:00
Saturday 14 December from 18:00 to 22:00
Although
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service (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. At this time of year, you may be enjoying Christmas parties
with friends or entertaining at home. Make sure Christmas tree lights
and decorations are switched off before you go out and don’t leave
candles burning unattended.
Whatever you are doing during these times we would like to remind you to Take Extra Care, at home, on the roads and while out and about. Further advice and information can be found on their website: www.rbfrs.co.uk.
