View answerAccording to the latest information supplied by local fire authorities to my Department, the total number of operational retained fire stations at 31 December 2003 was 202. In addition, there were three fire stations which had both full-time and retained fire fighters. The staffing of fire stations is a matter for the relevant fire authority and my Department has no function in the matter.
