Steven Eagell donates vehicles to Fire and Rescue Service

Steven Eagell Group has donated vehicles to Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service to be used by On-Call Firefighters as part of their vital life-saving training.

On-Call Firefighters are an integral part of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, providing flexible, efficient and reliable fire and rescue cover and engagement in their local community.

They are highly trained in responding to fires, water rescues, road traffic collisions, as well as delivering community safety initiatives.

Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service responds to thousands of incidents each year, a large proportion of which are road traffic collisions.

When attending these incidents, On-Call Firefighters are often required to safely extricate trapped victims from vehicles using specialist tools and training so they can receive medical attention.

Jamie Eagell, commercial director, Steven Eagell Group, said: “The On-Call Firefighters working for Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service risk their lives each and every day to protect and serve their local community. We’re extremely proud to have the opportunity to donate vehicles to be used as part of their road traffic collision training.”

Ian Youngs, station commander (on-call support), Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: “Both Wheathampstead and Harpenden Fire Station provide cover to their local  community 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year thanks to our highly trained team of On-Call Firefighters.

“We’re grateful to Steven Eagell Group for donating these vehicles to be used as part of our road traffic collision training.
