The Scottish Fire and Rescue Board have recently voted to close 5 of the existing 8 Operational Fire Controls in Scotland. By 2016 there is the real possibility that none of these will be in the north east. When you, your family or friends need the Fire Service do you want to be speaking to someone located in the central belt who has no local knowledge of the area you live in? When your loved ones are trapped in vehicles involved in a road traffic accident or your house is on fire every second counts. If you want to help save Aberdeen Fire Control sign our petition today.
The petition has now reached one thousand signatures. This level of engagement confirms that the community recognizes the vital importance of maintaining local expertise within our fire control services.

What happens when someone cant describe exactly where they are because of panic? A local operator would know the area. Save Aberdeen control.

The people making these decisions clearly dont know the geography of Scotland. Dont let them move it.

My husband works in the service and he is terrified about what this means for response times. Absolute madness to shut this down.

Stupid move. People in the central belt wont have a clue where places like Dyce or Westhill are. Seconds save lives, keep it in the north east.

This is ridiculous. Local knowledge is essential for the emergency services. Aberdeen needs its own control room!

Keep it local. Centralisation never works properly for the north.
