Mae hefyd yn bwysig cofio nad yw’r rhan fwyaf o’n diffoddwyr tân yn ddiffoddwyr tân llawn amser, ac nid oes yr un ohonynt yn ddiffoddwyr tân llawn amser mewn ardaloedd gwledig. Caiff y diffoddwyr eu galw i mewn o’u cartrefi neu eu gweithleoedd fel y bo’u hangen, ac ar adegau fel hyn gall y galwadau arnynt fod yn drwm iawn. Gall y galwadau fod yn drwm iawn ar eu cyflogwyr hefyd, gan fod galw diffoddwyr tân o blith eu staff yn gallu amharu’n ddifrifol ar eu busnesau. Hoffwn ddiolch i’r cyflogwyr hynny am eu cymorth o ran cadw ein cymunedau yn ddiogel.
It is also important to remember that most of our firefighters are not full-time, and in rural areas none of them are. They are called in from their homes or workplaces as they are needed, and at times like these the demands on them can be severe. So can the demands on their employers, who can experience significant disruption to their businesses when on-call firefighters among their staff are called upon. I would like to thank them for their support in keeping our communities safe.
