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:
UK airspace restrictions could impact Island flights
Passengers asked to check with airline before travelling
Delayed: Manxman won't be back until November
SPC's 'sincere apology' to customers as repair work continues
Large vehicles asked to avoid Sulby as recovery work continues
Road currently expected to remain shut until 5pm
Reservoir construction enters final stages
Manx Utilities says Jurby project remains on budget
