Chief Fire Officer for West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service Simon Pilling said: “We remain confident in our contingency plans after they were tested, and proved to be successful, during the last period of strike action in September.
“A reduced emergency response will again be inevitable during this next strike action, however, we do our very best to provide effective services throughout.”
