New impact drivers are being added to all @CDDFRS front line appliances across the county, invaluable bit of kit which will make crews more efficient 🚒

Last nights water rescue

[County Durham & Darlington Fire & Rescue Service @CDDFRS]

We're so proud of our Water Rescue Team & crews from Bishop, Durham, Stanhope, & Middleton, who at 5pm last night responded to a vehicle in the water at Westgate. On arrival our crews took immediate action, in what was challenging conditions, to ensure the driver was rescued.
