You can’t even have a Tom Tit these days without your Alerter making you shut up shop early and leave the paperwork till later! I think you get the idea…
Anyway it was two pumps to Beckham Road in Lowestoft for a fire in a tumble drier. Not much for us to do when we eventually got there in our old bus (we’ve got a reserve pump while ours is receiving TLC). In fact it’s that slow that two mobility scooters and a learner driver overtook us on the way to the job!
Back just before 8am and time for me to rush home, get changed into uniform and back to the fire station in time to leave at 8.15 for a Learn and Live presentation at Benjamin Britten High School.
And this was only the start of what proved to be a long day with Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service…
