The Humberside Fire Authority have gone out to consultation on proposals to reduce the cover at Goole Fire Station from two full-time pumps to one full-time pump and one retained pump. The response time of the retained pump would increase by 4 minutes which in a fire situation is a significant, and potentially life threatening, increase.

Prospective MP and Local Campaigner Andrew Percy has launched a survey of local residents to ensure that as many people as possible are able to make their views known to the Fire Authority. Click the link at the top of this article to fill it out online.

Andrew says, "I am concerned that these changes will put local people at risk and it therefore important that as many local people as possible make their views known. Considering Goole's position as an inland port and taking into account the recent industrial expansion locally, it does not seem sensible to reduce fire cover at Goole Fire Station.
