Haulage firm comes to 'rescue' of fire service
Lockwood Haulage donates trailer
A Langthwaite Business Park haulage company has come to the aid of Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service.
Lockwood Group donated one of its old trailers, to the Derbyshire Training Centre for Heavy Lifting Training.
The trailer was provided to the Joint Training Centre in Ripley, where technical rescue instructor Richard will use it to teach heavy and ultra-heavy vehicle rescue techniques.
It was handed to the service by business development manager Gemma Gregory and Class One driver Martin.
This training covers crucial skills such as managing trailer-related incidents and safely lifting trailers involved in road traffic collisions.
It’s essential that the fire and rescue service’s heavy vehicle collision rescue crews receive top-level training.
It ensures that, in an emergency, drivers know expert assistance is on the way.
