Officers 'don't meet safety standards' | This is South Wales: BACK-ROOM fire officers drafted in to cover a shortage of part-time fire fighters do comply with health and safety regulations, fire chiefs have said.
Senior officers at Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service admitted yesterday they faced crewing "challenges", particularly in Neath Port Talbot and Swansea, after serving officers claimed up to 21 appliance have not been fully manned this week, and may not be for the immediate future.
To meet the shortage, community and business fire safety officers, whose job it is to advise and educate about fire prevention, have been drafted into some stations to cover shortfalls.
