Opposition councillors called for Rotherhams second night-time fire pump to
be reinstated after a favourable shift of £2 million in the fire service
budget.
Cllr Rob Elliott of UKIP said the ruling Labour group should now be calling
for the resource to be brought back as they promised seven months ago.
Labour amended a UKIP motion to say Rotherham Borough Council would support
the second engine being reinstated when resources allowed.
Cllr Elliott said: Recently published accounts show a further £2.1 million
was made available to the general fund.
When will the second pump be reinstated, ensuring the ongoing safety to
residents though the night?
Recently, during the night, the fire brigade were required to support the
police due to lack of police manpower in a search and find exercise.
This left Rotherham with no cover available whatsoever. The fire appliance
was brought from Dearne station, leaving Dearne with no cover.
Is it going to take a major incident such as Grenfell before its realised
that the second pump must be reinstated?
