| Message | We are proposing this as currently so areas may have a government funded professionally trained fire service, others may have no provisions whatsoever, some have private coverage. We think it is more sensible to have one system and that it is necessary to have a professional, well equipped, well trained fire service provided by the government. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
