Money To Burn

John Waite presents the investigative consumer series. Millions of pounds of public money are being wasted on equipment and buildings for the fire service which are not being used.

Firefighters need the right equipment and back up if they are going to save lives. But millions of pounds have been spent on state of the art control rooms that may never be used, fire engines that are so heavy they can't be driven at speed and a fire training house - that caught fire.
Just some of the costly procurement decisions made on behalf of fire and rescue services across Britain - but paid for by us.
