What an honour for our team to arrange this trip for Donald & his family today and how amazing that our brilliant colleagues in @DFRSTraining built a ramp especially to aid Donald getting into the fire engine 🚒 #TeamDFRS

[GMDeanG @DGfire6350]

A real privilege to accompany Donald on his visit to @DerbyshireFRS today he’s now having a spot of lunch and a well earned rest. A fascinating gentleman with a wealth of stories everyone would benefit from a 10 min chat with Donald 👍🏻👍🏻
