SINN Féin’s Martina Anderson has expressed serious concern over claims that fire cover in Derry city has been compromised due to Covid-related staff shortages at Northland Road fire station.

Said the Foyle: “I have been made aware of claims that the Northland Road fire station only had enough crews on duty on Monday night to staff one fire engine,

“And that an additional engine aerial appliance, foam appliance and mass decontamination appliance were all unavailable due to staff shortages caused by COVID19.

“If this is the case then I am deeply concerned about the lack of capacity to deal with a major incident in the city.

“The Fire Service must ensure that Derry has adequate fire cover, and that its Firefighters are safeguarded as much as possible from COVID19.

“I will be writing to the Fire Service to urgently investigate these claims and to ask what steps they are taking to ensure adequate staffing levels in the Northland Road Fire Station.”
