Campaigns


At present the all members of the CSNC and Emergency Fire Control staff around the country, with the full 
backing and support of the Union, are heavily involved in the campaign against the regionalisation of Emergency 
Fire Control Rooms.

This campaign has stemmed from the Government’s proposal to close 46 Emergency Fire Control Rooms across 
the country and replace them with 9 Regional Control rooms. This campaign is about defending the jobs and 
health and safety of FBU members, and about protecting the public.
