Firefighting and teamwork skills put to the test in huge Sutton exercise

Firefighters from across Nottinghamshire gathered in Sutton for a large-scale training exercise.

Firefighters from Kirkby’s Ashfield station were joined by crews from Mansfield, Edwinstowe, Eastwood, Collingham, Newark and Highfields, as well as a Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service high-volume pump for the exercise.

The training event was held at DMW Logistics, on Oddicroft Lane.

An Ashfield station spokesman said: “We would like to thank DMW for accommodating us during the training exercise. It was very worthwhile.”
