Earlier this week, I was extremely concerned to hear that the North Wales Fire and Rescue Authority (NWFRA) is consulting on the future provision of emergency cover for Wrexham. One option sees our third appliance under threat once again. This would leave our city with one whole-time pump and crew, and one retained pump and crew – which would not always be available. This is not acceptable for a city the size of Wrexham. If this decision goes ahead, the safety of Wrexham residents will be compromised.
I would urge everyone in Wrexham to make their voices heard and respond to the consultation, which can be accessed via my social media and website.
To send a strong message to NWFRA, I have launched a petition to save Wrexham's firefighters and our second fire engine. To sign the petition, please click ‘Fire Service Petition’ on my website homepage. I will present this petition to the NWFRA as part of the consultation process. Please feel free to share with your friends and family, as the more signatures we can gather, the stronger our collective voice in Wrexham.
