Firefighters are staging another strike this morning in their ongoing dispute over pension reforms.
Members of the fire brigades union have downed tools until 8.30am.
The Devon and Somerset fire and rescue service says it has contingency plans which have worked well during the previous strikes - but is asking the public and local businesess to take extra care over fire safety this morning.
