As part of this consultation, we are hosting online question and answer sessions, to answer any questions that people might have about the proposals and listen to their views. At each session, people from across Devon and Somerset will hear from senior leaders in the fire service about the proposed changes and the impact that responding to automatic fire alarms has on our Service, as we as having time to ask any questions.

The dates are:

• Thursday 6 February, 1-2pm
• Tuesday 25 February, 2-3pm
• Wednesday 12 March, 12-1pm
• Thursday 20 March, 6-7pm

Information about how to join these events is available on our website.

We have promoted these dates on our social media (@dsfireupdates), please can you help reach as many people as possible by sharing this with your networks.

Thank you again for your support, and please continue to encourage others to tell us what they think about the proposed changes by filling in our online survey. Don’t forget to fill it in yourselves too.
