Fire cover could be lost in rural Shropshire if firefighters are not treated as frontline workers and vaccinated
Councillors in south-west Shropshire are getting concerned that they could lose fire cover if firefighters are not vaccinated urgently. New rules have been introduced that require firefighters to self-isolate for ten days if they have been in contact with someone who has tested positive with Covid-19. That could decimate fire cover in rural areas of Shropshire and take out entire stations.
