To ask the Scottish Government how many of the retained duty system fire stations in the Orkney Islands Council area currently have full staffing complements.
The recruitment and retention of staff is a matter for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service as the employer. There are currently two on call stations in the Orkney Islands Council area with a full staffing complement. When an appliance is not available, a response will be provided from the next nearest available location.
