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:
Loganair passengers escorted from aircraft after smoke reported at Ronaldsway
Flight bound for Birmingham was cancelled earlier today
Works planned for Douglas junction late this evening
DoI confirms repairs set for Bath place and Peveril Square
Freight services uninterrupted says Steam Packet
Ben-My-Chree currently 'carrying all freight requirements'
Greeba road closed to remove large tree
DoI shuts road towards Ballacraine Cross Roads
