Blaina Fire Station in Action again - 1 person rescued

The inside of our fire engine

News coming in but details still a bit sketchy, but the essential facts are correct.

Blaina Firefighters were called out on "the shout" to Alexander Street in Blaina a short while ago and were the first engine on the scene where they rescued one person before the 2nd appliance arrived.

I have been given to understand that several people have been taken to hospital as a result of smoke inhalation but also understand this is more of a precautionary action rather than a needed one.

Seriously people, how can the Fire Service say that Blaina does not need its own station with events like this taking place on average of 3 to 4 times a week.

Interesting figures from Save Blaina Fire Station...

Tonight's main point - Are the residents of Nantyglo and Blaina worth just 62.97 pence per week, per head of population of Nantyglo and Blaina, in order to protect their lives and property?

£222.541 divided by 52 weeks divided by population of 7097 people
