| Date | 04:03:25, June 16, 2018 CET | From | Social Democratic and Labor Party (SDLP) | To | Debating the Devolution of Fire Services Act |
| Message | While the SDPB is generally a centralist party, it is our opinion that fire prevention and management is an area that would benefit in terms of effectiveness and efficiency from local control. |
| Date | 15:36:08, June 16, 2018 CET | From | Liberal Party of Baltusia | To | Debating the Devolution of Fire Services Act |
| Message | While we would agree with this bill on principal, less-resourced local governments would find it more difficult to fund their fire prevention service than better-resourced ones. Therefore, we support the status quo and will vote no to this bill. |
| Date | 21:19:51, June 16, 2018 CET | From |  Socialist Party of Baltusia (SPB) | To | Debating the Devolution of Fire Services Act |
| Message | We do understand the SDPB's position, and would agree on this bill eventually. Yet I believe the National Firefighter Association of Baltusia must be invited into the Parliament to further discussions. |
| Date | 19:39:57, June 18, 2018 CET | From | Social Democratic and Labor Party (SDLP) | To | Debating the Devolution of Fire Services Act |
| Message | Since the voting on this act was never completed due to the elections the SDPB has decided to reintroduce it for consideration by parliament. |
| Date | 08:00:42, June 19, 2018 CET | From | Green Union | To | Debating the Devolution of Fire Services Act |
| Message | In the Green Union's opinion a national funded fire department is a really great thing, cause the government can spend more money. In a state where the firefighter services are managed by the local governments is really bad, cause the local governments can spend too much money if they want a good firefighter department. Also they can't support good ideas for example to build a golf course. We don't support this bill. |
