Firefighters will go on strike next week for four days as part of national industrial action.

They will walk out on Friday at 6pm until Tuesday, November 4, at 6pm as the dispute over pay and conditions between the Government and the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) continues.

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service chief fire officer David Etheridge said the county’s FBU branch staff will return to work if a major incident happens and it will be able to cover every 999 call.
