2. M3, a slow car in lane 2 with a green glow, a tablet on the dashboard having the football watched. Scary stuff. I’m glad I’m now off the roads, well until the 📟 goes off again.

Towed one of the new event trailers today. If you haven’t seen them already, you will at events like Surrey Fire & Rescue Service fire station open days through out 2025. A couple more additions to the fleet for us to inspect, maintain and service. There’s always something different to do.

This week, I’m down to inspect all the various appliances at Surrey Fire & Rescue Service Guildford Fire Station. A busy station that it is, I might as well move in for the week and some, especially if there’s a spare bed going, plus if I need to turn out on my duty week, I’ll be central Surrey.
