BACK-UP crews only dealt with one incident while members of the Fire Brigades Union went on strike yesterday morning.
The strike is taking place because of a dispute between the union and the Government. The argument centres around changes to pensions for firefighters which the union is labelling as "dangerous".
These include raising the retirement age to 60.
Further strike action will take place every day until Monday, with action taking place between 6am–8am and 5pm–7pm today.
