00:00 Our management and fire authority have proposed three options, all three of them, degrade fire
00:05 cover in North Wales. The worst option arguably is one which actually includes all the other
00:12 options which is option three, station closures, downgrading of Wrexham to one fire engine and 22
00:19 to 74 jobs being axed alongside seeing Rhyl and Deeside change their shift pattern to a day-crewed
00:28 shift system. That would actually leave North Wales with only one whole-time station, just one.
00:34 Bear in mind South Wales have 17. Why is it that we're prepared to accept just having such a
00:40 second class fire and rescue service in North Wales? Why do the people deserve that? I don't
00:45 think we do at all. The option two, the second option, really does impact Wrexham. That's the
00:52 loss of what management are calling the third appliance but we know better is the second
00:58 appliance. The loss of the second appliance will impact the communities of Wrexham massively as we know.
