Phil also feels that companies that enable their staff to be on-call firefighters, in North Yorkshire, need more recognition for the good they do.
He says the service is looking at ways of giving something back to those firms.
This might include certificates or more detailed promotion for that business.
Phil feels they deserve more:
The news comes after a relatively quiet Bonfire Weekend on the Yorkshire Coast.
