We would like to give our massive thanks to Tom Barrett and all the Black Watch team at Parkside Fire Station & Cambridge Fire Service.
It was the second time that we have caught up with Black Watch, firstly at their Parkside base but this time we had an even more interactive view of their work and the efforts they go to, to support the local community and keep us safe. On a hugely educational morning they provided great insight in to blaze tackling, smoke filled building entries and assisting at RTC’s to say the least. As well as re-iterating the information we should all be aware of in how to stay safe in our homes on a day to day basis.
A truly fantastic time, not only seeing their displays but getting the chance to see their range of specialised equipment in action, use their firehoses and understand the pressure behind them, even a display on how they gain entries to damaged cars at the road side.
We can’t thank them enough again for all their effforts, an exceptional team of people.
