Sellafield firefighting equipment donated
Firefighting equipment no longer needed by the fire and rescue service at the Sellafield nuclear site in Cumbria is to be donated to authorities in Paraguay.
More than 100 sets of breathing apparatus, as well as hydraulic cutting equipment and chemical splash suits, will be sent to the Paraguayan Fire Service.
Sellafield’s chief fire officer Rick Lanigan said: “Firefighters in developing countries undertake incredibly difficult operations in almost impossible conditions.”
The Sellafield Fire Service has been approached to help train firefighters in the Balkans.
