Crew deficient mobilising

Conference will be aware that the National Retained Committee, regional committees and brigade committees have consistently raised (at previous Conferences) the issue of fire and rescue services mobilising appliances with insufficient or deficient crew which takes place in many forms nationally.

Resolution 24 from Conference 2022 (Inadequate and Dangerous Crewing levels) was moved and unanimously supported; since then crew deficient mobilising has been implemented in other brigades, most recently Cambridgeshire.

Conference instructs the Executive Council to explore the options we have to combat this, utilising the National Health and Safety Committee and all their power, as well as any other means available to us.
