Call For ‘Urgent Investigation’ After Cygnet Hotel Fire Response Criticised
Plans for the new East Cowes Fire Station on York Avenue were approved by the Isle of Wight Council last month.
An Isle of Wight councillor has called for an “urgent investigation” into the state of the fire service after criticism of its response to the major Cygnet Hotel fire in Sandown earlier this month.
East Cowes Independent councillor Karl Love has written to the Isle of Wight Council’s leadership and senior officers, raising concerns after the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) claimed firefighters were left “scrambling” for resources during the October 18 blaze.
The FBU said five fire engines had to be ferried across the Solent to provide cover for the Island, describing the situation as a “scrapheap challenge approach to running a fire service.
Author summary: Urgent investigation called after criticism.
