The Fire service in North Yorkshire is proposing a number of changes as it struggling to find enough on-call firefighters at the times it needs them.
It's proposing changes to help address the issue including changing the type of fire engines used in Scarborough.
The town would lose it's 24 hour tactical response fire engine but would get a second more capable engine that would only be available during the day.
Chief Fire Officer, Jonathan Foster, says they have carried out analysis to identify when they need fire engines to be available.

The service is proposing a shake up of it's services to refocus it's efforts.
Chief Fire Officer Jonathan Foster says they way they employ on call fire fighters is one of the things they need to change.
North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Zoë Metcalfe, has now launched a three-month consultation to listen the public’s views on the proposed changes to fire and rescue services ahead of making her final decisions.
Further information on the proposals, details on local consultation events and a link to complete the questionnaire can be found at https://www.northyorkshire-pfcc.gov.uk/rrm/
