The mayor of London, Boris Johnson, wants to close 12 fire stations, remove 18 engines and slash 520 frontline firefighter posts. Even the mayor’s own fire Authority is against his plans!
The mayor wants to cut your fire cover so he can reduce council tax up 7p a week.
This move will mean it takes longer for firefighters to get to you in your hour of need and will put you and your family in danger.
