Another successful 2 weeks training 10 more Swiftwater and Flood Rescue Boat Operators, and 3 more certified with RYA powerboat level 2. Oh and an instructor CPD with Aldeburghs Lifeboat. It’s been jam packed! @999Ben @AbiDowding @SuffolkFire @AldeburghRNLI

Firefighters are working hard to keep the public safe during Storm Darragh.
We are calling for:
🔥 Investment in the fire service, to give firefighters the tools they need
🔥 A statutory duty on flooding in England
🔥 National standards to end the postcode lottery in fire cover
