March 19th – A fascinating visit to Leics Fire & Rescue (includes Rutland). The service is great and also great value – 3rd cheapest at £66.46 pa band D. It is very much a rescue + fire service – of 8,000 incidents pa only 2,400 involved fire. The rest are rescues. car accidents etc. Photo illustrates a ‘can opener’ for wrecked cars. I heard about bravery & the emotional toll for firefighters. Thanks to all.
