Closing fire stations "would jeopardise public safety"

"Closing 12 fire stations would have one result, and that would be to jeopardise public safety. Longer response times would cost lives."

"Fire deaths are down in London, but this is down to the hard work and professionalism of our brave firefighters."On top of putting out fires they do a huge amount of community fire safety work. If they are cut back how will this work carry on?"
