Petition STOP PRIVATISATION OF THE FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE

More details

Please sign this e-petition to stop the government plan to privatise the 46 Fire and Rescue Services in England.

It will put lives at risk as emergency services are run on a whim as private companies and their need for profit will come first.

Fire and Rescue is an essential public service which we all depend on for our safety, and our lives.

Firefighting is a no-go area for privatisation. The first and last concern of our fire services must be public protection not company profit.

Labour last night hit out at the proposal. MP John Healey said: “This is a privatisation too far.

Privatisation of the Fire and Rescue Service will cost more to the public in the future.
