The Fire Brigade Union (FBU) has urged the Prime Minister to urge US President Donald Trump to cancel the next month’s visit, citing concerns over already spreading fire and rescue services.
The Sangh highlighted the fact that firefighters were to be deployed in checkers during the journey, at a time when the service is “extending to the braking point” due to the ongoing cuts and recent wildfires. The Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service has allegedly emailed employees offering overtime for the incident, underlining additional stress.
FBU stressed that it comes in the form of nationwide fire and rescue services, and locally, adequate budget cuts.
General secretary Steve right Said: “Donald Trump is a toxic, powerful billionaire who waged war at the standard of living of workers and common Americans, and implemented a cruel, anti -race migrant policy on obstacles with basic human values.
“It was always a shocking step for one to roll the red carpet with an unprecedented second state trip. Labor Government. Now we learn that the fire cover can be compromised to accommodate it. This response can obstruct time and public safety.
“Keer Star will have to cancel the visit to this state.”
FBU Executive Council member for the southern region, Chris Wichrley said: “Fifteen years of cuts means that fire service is on its knees, and Buckinghamshire has spent all summer suffering from lack of resources in summer.
“We have received wildfire, hot temperatures and low rainfall. Those conditions can still be well in September.
“We have now found that the service has been asked to deploy fire engine and a water tanker to sit outside the checkers for the visit of President Trump.
“Firefighters and members of the public will correctly form a relationship as a cruel joke. The firefighting service is present to save the life, not to put away a show for far-flung foreign leaders.”
