FIREFIGHTERS attend a conference today with the public backing them in their fight for extra pay.

But how long will that support last if they decide to walk out and trigger the arrival of archaic green goddess tenders?

The firefighters should think long and hard before walking out in pursuit of their pay claim.

They deserve extra money for the job they do.

But we hope they will put faith in a pay review that is currently being carried out before taking drastic action.
