Commenting on the news that an exodus of part-time firefighters has occurred due to controversial management decisions putting lives at risk, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Social Partnership, Joel James MS said:
The Labour Government must investigate this issue immediately; we cannot afford to have a shortage of firefighters in Wales.
If management decisions are resulting in an exodus of firefighter staff, the practices within the fire service must be urgently reviewed.
With people’s lives at risk, Labour must do all they can to ensure the recruitment and retention of the workforce before it is too late.
