Fire-fighters’ heartfelt plea to save engine as axe is poised at Padiham


by Susan Plunkett


A HEARTFELT appeal for villagers in Read, Simonstone and Sabden to support a campaign to save a fire engine has been made. These rural areas are served by Padiham Fire


Station and plans to axe one of the two engines based there could have drastic consequences, fire­ fighters believe. Now they plan to launch a door-to-door cam­ paign in each of the villages to enlist the support

• MAKE your voice heard and sup­ port the SAFE campaign by writing a letter to: The Integrated Risk Man­


of residents. Fire-fighter Phil Gardner, who is based at Padiham, said: “We want people to know that these cuts will affect them, it is not just Padi­ ham. While these rural areas are served by Clitheroe Fire Station we also cover the areas on a regular basis and we need the support of the peo­ ple who live there.” A major review of Lancashire’s fire service


announced a series of radical changes, with fire bosses wanting to re-locate Burnley Fire Station closer to junction 10 of the M65, arguing that engines there could respond to incidents in Padi­ ham and the surrounding districts.


agement Team, Lancashire Fire and Rescue Headquarters, Garstang Road, Fulwood, Preston, PR2 3LH.


But fire-fighters argue that if both pumps from


Burnley are out at the other side of town and the one pump at Padiham is also out, what happens if there is a fire in Sabden? Fire-fighter Gardner said: “Clitheroe is further


away from Sabden than Padiham and we are in the best position to respond, there is no doubt about it.” Fire-fighters have already spoken to Sabden


Parish Council about the issue and they plan to contact all the other official bodies in the area to enlist their backing. Fire-fighter Gardner added: “If people could


write a letter expressing their concern about these moves it would be a great help to the campaign. “And it would show the support we have across


a wide area. “The letter does not need to be long, just a few lines.” Our sister paper, the Padiham Express, has


launched the SAFE (Save a Fire Engine) cam­ paign. Individuals, businesses, schools and other organisations are being asked to support the cam­ paign by writing letters of protest. A consultation period, giving people time to express their views, runs until November 30th, and the final decision will be announced on December 18th.
