Today we honour the bravery, commitment, and sacrifice of firefighters across the globe.
We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice and thank those who continue to serve with courage every day. ππ
π Yesterday (04/02), we received a Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) from Bertschi Haulage!
Through our partnership, Bertschi donates end-of-life HGVs, allowing our crews to carry out vital heavy rescue training. This helps us maintain our skills & keep our roads safer for everyone.π
