As further flood warnings come into place and Firefighters continue to work around the clock to assist and support local communities in Somerset, the issue of flooding on this scale has become more politicised. Many local politicians and Members of Parliament are raising issues regarding action plans, preparedness and finance etc and the FBU is engaging with MPs on all these vital areas. Work is ongoing at a national and regional level as we are determined that, instead of just praising us at times like this, Government also gives Firefighters & the Fire Service the necessary resources, equipment, finance and statutory duties to deal with the increasing risk of large scale floods. Watch this space for more info in the near future!
