Councillor Ian Roome writes:
"Our local fire crews in Barnstaple play a vial role in not only reacting to fires but many other incidents.
I am so glad that after all the lobbying in late 2019 and early 2020 that we will have Barnstaple station manned day and night.
I was very privileged to be shown around and to take part in a training session.
I will continue to monitor the situation.
