August 25th: Firefighters have to have a head for heights! Glad to join firefighter Pete on 30metre high platform above #Uppingham & hear about their varied work saving lives and buildings. Parttime firefighters required in Uppingham apply at fire station.
The team demonstrated what NOT to do with a fat fire (do not throw water on it)! We were advised to call 999 and get out of the house. My video (click on the link below) does not do it justice – I was unprepared for just how high the flames would go!
