Martin Campbell: Professional Firefighters Union Secretary says staffing shortages are causing headaches for Auckland firefighters - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Staffing shortages are causing headaches for Auckland firefighters.
The Professional Firefighters Union says last weekend there were 23 gaps in coverage for the Auckland region.
The union's Auckland secretary, Martin Campbell told Mike Hosking it's not a new problem.
He says there's been a lack of planning for hiring career firefighters in the past 10 to 15 years.
Fire and Emergency says there is enough capacity to cover emergencies, but it's working on filling around 20 roles in the region.
