    “I've also noticed that if we are to believe the pictures that accompany each of these 'fire' incidences, it is the same fire engine that is used every single time. From the same depot!! The crew must be absolutely shattered, it seems so unfair that one set of fire fighters and their vehicle are used to attend the scene of every fire-related incident in Nottinghamshire. This vehicle must have covered literally thousands of miles this year alone. It's a disgrace.”

    “without wishing to sound disrespectful to the fire service (whom i hold in the highest regard),werent they just doing their job,albeit an a slightly larger scale than normal.Would the NEP run a report on anyone else doing their job but on a slightly bigger scale than normal,ie "Postmen in Arnold delivered a lot more letters than last week!!"....they post letters,thats what they do.Firemen put out fires, that is what THEY do....seems a bit of an empty story really....hardly the World Trade Centre was it?”
