Dorset firefighters set begin series of strikes tonight
Dorset and Hampshire firefighters will be among those taking part in industrial action by the Fire Brigades Union tonight from 7pm until midnight, from 6.30pm on New Year’s Eve until 12.30am on New Year’s Day, and from 6.30am to 8.30am on January 3.
During the strikes, driven by a dispute over pensions, stand-by crews will respond to 999 calls, but may be delayed, so both services are advising the public to take fire safety measures.
