DEAR EDITOR, - I write with deep concern over the comments passed by the deputy chairman of the Fire Authority, Cllr Brian Hall, aired on Radio Pembrokeshire on October 11th - 28 firefighters in Swansea doing the same amount of work as 40 firefighters in Haverfordwest.
How poorly informed is this gentleman - the 28 firefighters in Swansea man a one pump station 24 hours a day. The 40 firefighters in Haverfordwest man two pumping appliances and four specialist appliances (emergency tender, turntable ladder, diving unit and a boat) and cover offshore firefighting all around the Welsh coast 24 hours a day.
Twisting figures to obtain his hidden agenda is something the people of Pembrokeshire could well do without.
RON ARTHUR Valley View, Chapel Road, Keeston.
