Impending Doom!
Well. It's finally happening. The Governments' Office of the Deputy Prime Minister are finally announcing the locations of the 'so called' new Regional Fire Control Centres tomorrow morning at 0930hrs.
This has been postponed on numerous occasions.
Very briefly, it will mean that each Fire Brigade will no longer have it's own Control Room. There will only be 9 centres covering the whole of England & Wales.
If you should be unfortunate enough to have to dial 999 in the event of fire or an accident, please be sure of your exact location - ie street name, town, any landmarks etc, because you may well be speaking to someone who does not know the area as they are probably 50 miles away or more!!! Local knowledge will count for nothing!
(but what do we know?)
Many of us around the country may well be losing our jobs through the re-structure.
Hold on tight, as this may be a bumpy ride!

Yep. They told us this morning that it will be on the Woverhampton Business Park, near Junction 2 on the M54.
That will mean a journey of 54 miles from home!
