Local - how the money goes
At vast expense someone built a combined control room for all the emergency services in the Devizes area - ie when you rang 999 it was answered in one building and then they sorted out who to send.
The Firemen threw a wobbly because they are "special" and needed there own centre. It was eventually solved I believe by building them their own room in the centre.
The FBU had voted to take strike action over safety issues and job security at the shared 999 control site in Devizes.
(Note the "safety issues" when it was just about saving members jobs!)
And now a whole two years later another move is planned - and the firemen are having another tizzy - safety - jobs - madness.
BBC NEWS | England | Wiltshire | Fire control move is 'inevitable'
Wiltshire fire brigade has admitted it will have to quit the new shared 999 control centre because of plans to create a regional call hub.
The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) is against the merger.
The union fears it may lead to delays in calls being answered.
Last month, firefighters in neighbouring Gloucestershire took unofficial industrial action in protest at the merger plans.
In February, Avon Fire Authority said it would not voluntarily hand over 999 services.
