FIREFIGHTERS put their lives on the line every time they answer a 999 call.

They deserve every penny they are asking for and more.

It would be interesting to know just how much the powers-that-be, that are refusing them what they want, take home in their wage packet?

When the firemen are back at work, will the media (TV and newspapers) follow them round with cameras etc and let us know what an excellent job they do, because they haven't done this before?
