	Fire Authorities & FBU could be sued for millions
		Legal experts are of the opinion that individual fire authorities or the Fire Brigades Union could be sued for the loss of life or property if their actions can be proved to have been negligent.
		If lawyers could show that a small fire, that could have been dealt with by the crew if they had been called, developed into a large fire, because they were not called, then the extra cost of the damage arising might be recoverable from the fire authority.
		The fire station has been surrounded by wholetime pickets with their cars to prevent the retained firefighters responding, and glass has been put in the boots of the retained personnel.

	040114-firefi-R0121125041
		As combined fire authorities move from `levying' to `precepting' status on 1 April 2004, the budgets for 2004/05 of combined fire authorities and their constituent authorities will not be comparable with those for 2003/04.
		There are significant pressures impacting on all fire authorities in the current year (mainly as a result of the firefighters' pay award); and particular funding issues relating to CFAs as they prepare for precepting.
		It should also be borne in mind that the scope for tangible savings (rather than efficiency gains) will vary from authority to authority dependent on their past approach to, and the rigour of, previous reviews of risk and resource deployment.

		This means that each constituent fire authority would be expected to delegate certain functions to the Regional Management Board who would then have specific powers to make and implement decisions in respect of the functions delegated.
		The nine authorities are very variable in size with Hampshire and Kent having approximately 20% each of the total population of this region, Surrey around 13% and the others ranging from 7½ to 10% with the exception of the Isle of Wight, which is under 2%.
		Again the two obvious options are a flat rate contribution from each constituent fire authority or perhaps more likely, a contribution which reflects the relative size of the constituent fire authority.
