The Devon and Somerset Fire Authority have agreed to take a programme of controversial spending cuts to the next stage.
The authority met this morning to discuss the plans, which include some changes to front line services, after a five and a half million pound reduction in Government funding over the next two years.
The Fire Brigades Union are concerned that changing some crews from whole-time to on-call will slow down response times.
The proposals will now go out for public consultation.
