A response model where Rhyl and Deeside fire stations change to a day staffing duty system.

Wrexham’s third fire appliance is removed, maintaining one fire appliance staffed by wholetime firefighters and one appliance staffed by on-call firefighters.

The redistribution of staff from Wrexham, Rhyl, Deeside and the Rural Wholetime Duty System enables the addition of two day staffed stations, located at Porthmadog and Dolgellau and a natural reduction in wholetime firefighter numbers by 36.

The closure of five on-call fire stations at Abersoch, Beaumaris, Cerrigydrudion, Conwy and Llanberis, resulting in the reduction of on-call firefighter numbers by 38.

The maps below show 100% wholetime availability in purple and on-call availability in shades of grey, depending on average availability (over three years).
