The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) has announced further strike dates following a national ballot for strike action last year.
Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service (DFRS) have said that FBU members will be striking on Friday, May 2, 12 noon until 5pm, Saturday, May 3, 2pm until 2am on Sunday, 4 May, and Sunday, May 4, from 10am until 3pm.
During times of industrial action, DFRS will continue to provide an emergency response service at a reduced level.
The Fire Service are asking members of the public to take extra steps to reduce the risk of a fire breaking out in their home and to take extra care when driving on the roads during times of industrial action. They DFRS say:
I would urge everyone to visit our website, www.derbys-fire.gov.uk where there is a wealth of fire safety advice and information available.
If you do have a fire, do not try to tackle this yourself, get out, stay out and call 999, we will respond.
