BARNSLEY residents are being encouraged to take part in a consultation on South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue’s objectives over the next three years.
The service says it wants to remove inefficiency, boost performance and embed an inclusive workplace culture as it strives to become one of the country’s leading fire and rescue services.
A change to how it responds to 999 calls would see a vehicle which is used to respond to small incidents like grass and bin fires move from Cudworth to Dearne fire station.
The fire service says this would be a better location for the vehicle based on incident data, analysed as part of a full review of all its fire stations and fire engines.
Assistant chief fire officer Simon Dunker said: “Now we want local people to feedback on those plans – as well as our other objectives for the next four years.”
A link to the consultation can be found on the fire service’s website.
It will close on February 7.
