This is Derbyshire -- FIREFIGHTERS took the decision to leave their picket line after hearing of a potentially life-threatening two-car smash in Derbyshire. It was on Friday shortly before 9.30pm when firefighters on strike at Swadlincote fire station were informed by police of the crash, in Burton Road, Midway. But a spokesman for Derbyshire police said the collision was later found to be not as serious as first thought, with two people suffering minor injuries. The incident involved a Vauxhall Corsa and a Peugeot 306. The spokesman said that one of the drivers sped away from the scene. Police are now investigating. The firefighters were on strike because of a continuing national row over pensions and retirement ages. A spokesman for the station said firefighters left the picket line after being informed by the police "that there was a risk to life". But he said they returned to the station once they realised it was not a life-threatening situation. Firefighters were on strike between 6pm and 10pm on Friday and Saturday – the fifth and sixth time they have taken the action. Their strike was not interrupted on Saturday night, with only a fallen tree on Snake Pass and a false alarm in Sandiacre reported to county firefighters during the action. The Government wants firefighters to wait until they are 60 – rather than the current 55 – for their full pension. The union believes 60 is too old for such physical work. Chris Tapp, union secretary for Derbyshire, said the strikes "went well, as expected". He added: "We had overwhelming support from the public again. "What we really want is for Brandon Lewis, the fire minister, to get back round the table and meet with our officials to get this dispute resolved as soon as possible." Speaking about the Swadlincote incident on Friday, Mr Tapp said: "We want to protect the public of Derbyshire. Our fight is not with them, it is with the Government." Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service had urged people to follow simple safety steps to help reduce emergencies during those times. These included leaving extra time for car journeys, taking extra care in the kitchen and responding to weather conditions when driving.
