Its optional for the people who start the fires/fireworks but the majority of fires are caused by stray flames/fireworks starting new fires. Its so so unresponsible to strike on a night when they are already strectched to the limits, people who NEED help whether they be elderly/disabled won't be able to get any help atall, why should they suffer so firefighters can get an extra 20p which they are obviously not entitled to. You can't give it the whole they risk their lives cr@p because they knew the salary when they took the job & I'm pretty sure working in Iraq is alot worse for similar pay :/
