While I agree with the firefighters, there is always a down side.
UK Reserve Forces can't be employed on "Aid to Civil Power" (Imagin a Fireman in the TA called up to...man a fire engine) Therefore while all you regulars are likely to be held back in UK to run our fire stations, the "Weekend Warriors", me amongst them, are that bit closer to spending a few months on a mountain in Afghanistan to make up the numbers. Oh what joy.
