Hamworthy Fire Station is recommended for closure and merger with Poole Fire Station, as part of a 12-month trial following a public consultation involving four fire stations in Dorset. MP Vikki Slade supports the decision, noting it will retain jobs and keep Cranborne Fire Station open. Concerns were raised by MP Neil Duncan-Jordan regarding service reductions and their impact on community safety. New Chief Fire Officer Andy Cole aims for modernization in response to changing financial conditions and operational needs. Final recommendations for the Fire & Rescue Authority are set to be published on June 22.
