Mark Levy didn't hold back on quizzing Fire and Rescue NSW Commissioner, Jeremy Fewtrell, with the tough questions after it was revealed a new strategy to reduce the number of people on trucks in rural towns was being proposed.

Fewtrell explained that resources in our state's rural areas were thin, and that the usual four-man requirement for trucks was proving hard to accommodate, while outlining a two-man tanker strategy consisting of some part-time firefighters.

Levy hit him with the hard questions, including whether it would impact lives and the way firefighters respond to people stuck in a burning building.
