Significant changes made to most parts of this article to reflect accuracy and current changes in RDS system implemented by the UK Government (16/4/2009) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.4.172 (talk) 00:58, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Retained
Need some support at Articles for deletion/Retain (disambiguation) and people, well, JHunterJ thinking a retained firefighter is not also referred to soley as "retained". &mdash;Eekerz (t) 06:48, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Terminology
Although they may officially now be called RDS firefighters, they are still commonly known as retained firefighters and that is the terminology we should use, with a note as to the alternative name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:58, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
