Firefighters across Oxfordshire will go on strike between 10am and 5pm today in a dispute with the Government over pay and conditions.
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service will provide cover with a combination of on-call volunteers and non-striking staff.
Oxfordshire County Council has reached an agreement with the Fire Brigades Union that striking members will return to duty if a serious incident takes place.
