CASH saved through underspends at Thames Valley Fire Control Service is to be spent on a £35,000 video wall.
In a report, the Reading-based service – which handles calls from Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire – said a switching system would also be installed.
It said the suggestion for a video wall came from staff.
Its purchase would reduce the overall underspend of £130,000 to £95,000 in this financial year.
The report added: "A video wall screen will provide a strategic overview for supervisors to manage incidents and offer operators the ability to observe resource disposition and availability in real time."
