Falmouth and Camborne fire stations are keep their 24 hour cover after Cornwall County Council announced a u-turn.
There had been plans to shut down 24-hour cover at the two stations in an bid to save money.
But after a storm of protest over safety fears, Cornwall County Council rubber-stamped Cornwall County Fire Brigade's budget to enable full-time cover to continue at Falmouth and Camborne.
They are the only two fire stations in the county to be manned 24 hours a day. Other fire stations across the Duchy use retained crews.

Cornish Pirates rugby club has dismissed head coach Mark Hewitt. His sacking comes after a run of poor displays culminating in a comprehensive 39-8 defeat on Saturday.
Assistant coach Brett Davey has been put in charge until the end of the season. Hewitts dismissal comes one year into a two-year contract signed back in 2008.
Dicky Evans, the owner of the Camborne-based club, has released a statement on the official Pirates website. He cites the club's inconsistent form from the start of the season as the main reason for Hewitt's departure.
