We asked, do you have a ceremonial uniform? Andy showed
us his Uniform which had his medals on and he only wears the
uniform at ceremonial parades and functions.
We asked, why did you relocate from Shakespeare Street to
London Road? Shakespeare Street Central Fire Station would
cost more in repairs then building a new station at London
Road, the budget for the build was £5.5 million but the cost
came under budget at £4.7 million.
Andy took us out to the back of the fire station where he
showed us the aerial ladder platform, & talked about how it
was used. We then talked about how they used it in a fire or a
rescue.
We were given a demonstration on the fire hose where we
had a go at using the fire hose.
At the fire station there is a plaque which is dedicated to the
station for attending the fire at Nottingham train station.
At the end of the interview we thanked Andy and his team for
their warm Welcome and time and we give them our best
wishes and to keep them selves-safe and the community they
serve.
