The new Chief Fire Officer says there could be job losses and station closures in the coming year.
That's according to Kevin Groom who was appointed as the new chief this lunch-time.
Mr Groom joined the Island's fire service in 1982 and has served at every rank in the operational and community safety sides of the brigade.
Mr Groom says the fire service will have to look at the size of its work-force ahead of the new budget:
Warmer than average May for Island
239 hours of sunshine recorded in the month
Increased DfE support 'to tackle rising costs and global pressures'
Expanded eligibility and increased funding for support schemes
Police appeal after two motorcycles involved in collision
Incident saw Tholt-Y-Will backroad closed for several hours
Childcare Credit payments to increase
Bid to support families with childcare costs
Manx Care advice to those on Depo-Provera injection
