Lincolnshire fire crews’ help

Fire kit and equipment from Lincolnshire and every fires service in the UK is being sent out to Ukraine to support firefighters on the frontline. 
UK charity FIRE AID and International Development (FIRE AID), and the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) are coordinating donations of more than 5,000 items of fire and rescue equipment and PPE which will be sent in convoy to Ukraine. 
Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue have contributed kit including fire boots and masks as well as gas monitoring equipment which will now be on their way to the Ukraine via Poland.
Chief Fire Officer for Lincolnshire Mark Baxter said: “A wide range of equipment has been donated from fire services– mostly kit that was due to be replaced soon or that is surplus to requirements.”
