A fire in your home is always a traumatic experience. My kitchen was burning freely when I called 999.
Two fire engines and ten firefighters arrived within three minutes, averting what could have been a tragedy.
I keep imagining the Green Goddesses trundling up the hill after who can tell how many minutes?
Our firefighters deserve a living wage. Without them, my house would have been destroyed.
What sort of world do we live in that pays "fat cat" managers thousands of pounds but cannot pay our basic services what they deserve?
