Mae hyn yn rhan o raglen lawer ehangach o arallgyfeirio’r gwasanaeth tân.  Mae'r Awdurdodau Tân ac Achub eisoes wedi llwyddo i leihau nifer yr achosion o dân, a'i ddifrifoldeb.  Byddai'n hollol anghywir, yn ogystal â bod yn beryglus, i'w cosbi am eu llwyddiant drwy orfodi toriadau arnynt.  Yn lle hynny, gallwn gefnogi ein diffoddwyr tân fel y gallant ymateb i risgiau eraill ac anghenion unigolion a chymunedau, megis llifogydd ac argyfyngau meddygol gyda'r un dewrder, proffesiynoldeb ac ymroddiad y maent bob amser wedi'u dangos.  Rwy'n falch o wneud hyn.
This is part of a much wider programme of diversification of the fire service. FRAs have already succeeded in greatly reducing the incidence and severity of fire. It would be wholly wrong, as well as dangerous, to make them victims of that success by imposing cuts. Instead, we can support our firefighters to respond to other risks and needs of individuals and communities, like flooding and medical emergencies with the same bravery, professionalism and dedication that they have always shown. I am proud to do so.
