The Penhallow fire killed three people
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.
