The FBU has received a message of solidarity from the general secretary of the trade union, PCS.
Mark Serwotka said: “Despite the FBU engaging in weeks of negotiation and presenting a barrage of unarguable evidence, the government has provoked these strikes by ignoring reason and imposing their damaging plans.
“Firefighters should know they have the full solidarity of PCS in their strike action, in defence of their future and that of the fire and rescue service.â€
