Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service faces proposed cutsBuckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service could lose eight fire engines and two fire stations under new proposals from the county’s fire authority.
The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) said the proposals would see the number of fire engines in the county fall from 30 to 22.
The union said any further reduction in capacity would seriously undermine public safety.
FBU calls for investment and recruitmentMitch Wallace, FBU brigade secretary for Buckinghamshire, said: “Buckinghamshire FBU has consistently campaigned for investment, growth and resilience in our service.
