Norfolk has a brand-new Aerial Ladder Platform. This £1 million investment in the Norfolk Fire & Rescue Service will be vital in emergency rescues from height and help in tackling fires from above extinguishing them quickly and safely.
This latest piece of equipment is part of an investment by Norfolk County Council, which has also included a phase one rollout of the first 22 new fire appliances across Norfolk, and specialist wildfire kit and personal protective equipment.
"Providing our fire and rescue service with the best modern kit and equipment allows them to respond to emergencies right across Norfolk in the most appropriate way. Our service attends all kind of incidents, including rescues from height and fires which require support from above," said Conservative Councillor Margaret Dewsbury, Cabinet Member for Communities at Norfolk County Council
