Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson says he's waiting to see the recommendations of an external review of the Island's fire service.
This morning in Tynwald, he faced questions from members about the future of the service after a leaked management document discussed possible redundancies.
Mr Watterson said plans to cope with future cuts were still in their very early stages.
And he said he was waiting for a report from Scotland before any decision could be made:
