The FBU and the National Retained Committee launched a campaign in autumn 2004 to highlight the enormous problem of the recruitment and retention of firefighters on the retained duty system.

We produced a document called “Off the Run”, which was in answer to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister’s review of the retained service produced by the Retained Review Team.

The review is heavily influenced by the RFU and detrimental to the service, health and safety, and pay and conditions and does not address the problem of funding the retained Service.
