Current Events
In the spring of 2012 Humberside Fire and Rescue Service won a 3 year, multi-million pound private contract to provide 24-hour emergency cover to steel giant Tata Steel at its Scunthorpe site. The deal with Tata Steel means retained firefighters will be stationed on site at its North Lincolnshire plant.
On 1 January 2013 plans were submitted to Hull City Council expressing Humberside Fire and Rescue Service's intention to replace Clough Road fire station, to build a new £3.9 million facility on the same site. If plans are approved it is hoped the new station will be operational by 2018. A decision will be made in March 2013 by the Council's Planning Committee whether to approve or refuse the application.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or events:
“We set up a certain aim, and put ourselves of our own will into the power of a certain current. Once having done that, we find ourselves committed to usages and customs which we had not before fully known, but from which we cannot depart without giving up the end which we have chosen. But we have no right, therefore, to claim that we are under the yoke of necessity. We might as well say that the man whom we see struggling vainly in the current of Niagara could not have helped jumping in.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
