North Wales Fire and Rescue Authority are proposing to cut one of Wrexham's two whole-time fire engines with the loss of 24 firefighters. Wrexham is the largest conurbation in the North, it has a huge industrial estate and the second largest prison in Europe along with a high number of vulnerable people and deprived communities.
These additional pressures will lead to a lack of cover for area, potentially endangering life and putting property at risk. We support enhanced cover for other parts of north Wales but not at the expense of halving the numbers of firefighters available in Wrexham.
Mae Awdurdod Tân ac Achub Gogledd Cymru yn ystyried torri un o'r ddwy injan dân llawn amser yn Wrecsam a cholli 24 o ddiffoddwyr tân. Wrecsam yw’r dref fwyaf yn y Gogledd, mae ganddi ystâd ddiwydiannol enfawr a’r ail garchar mwyaf yn Ewrop ynghyd â nifer uchel o bobl fregus a chymunedau difreintiedig.
Bydd y pwysau ychwanegol yn arwain at anhawsterau delio â thannau a digwyddiadau brys yn yr ardal, gan beryglu bywydau o bosibl a rhoi eiddo mewn perygl. Rydym yn cefnogi mwy o gyflenwad ar gyfer rhannau eraill o'r Gogledd ond nid ar draul haneru nifer y diffoddwyr tân sydd ar gael yn Wrecsam.
We, the undersigned, call on the North Wales Fire and Rescue Authority not to cut the Wrexham fire appliance and 24 firefighters' jobs.
