The Fire Brigade don't have any problem with going on strike, it seems. Which surprises me. I really hope one of their own houses doesn't catch light today. And if the strikes continue, who are they going to call in? Our seriously depleted army won't be helping and with more redundancies for the armed forces and a failure to recruit TA soldiers, they won't be an option for a while. Of course, they won't be going on strike.
