Four Wiltshire fire stations face closure amid budget cuts, risking longer response times and nearly 100 job losses.
A key meeting will decide the fate of four Wiltshire fire stations—Bradford on Avon, Mere, Ramsbury, and Wilton—as part of cost-saving efforts by the Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority.
Closures are under consideration due to declining government funding and rising costs, with a final decision expected in June.
A risk assessment evaluated factors like population served and response times, and if approved, crew workloads would increase and response times could rise by up to 11 minutes.
The authority has not yet started formal consultation, but the move could affect nearly 100 firefighter jobs.
