Councillor Jonathan Wheeler spent the morning at West Bridgford Fire Station on Wednesday morning, meeting firefighters and learning more about that the team have to deal with on a daily basis.
The Nottinghamshire County Councillor very much enjoyed the meeting, even trying on some of th equipment!
"I soon realised I needed to join the gym, I have been more respect if that's even possible,for what our fighter fighters have to go through!"
Jonathan is also a member of the Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Authority, and wanted to meet some of the team to discuss recent changes. "I really got a lot out of chatting to the team, and understanding more about how changes affect them on the front line. I look forward to returning and talking to them again."
