00:00 My name is Henry Griffin from Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service, area manager for
00:04 Peakland Resources. Today's launch event for our new appliances in the building sees the culmination of over two years worth of work in delivering the latest technology and innovation to both the staff of Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service and the residents of Suffolk City.
00:18 The equipment has all been designed to mitigate the effects of climate change. This includes solar panels on top of our fire engines, a range of battery equipment and a transition to electric fleet in our small vehicles which will see over 21%
00:29 making that switch. Some of our fire engines behind me will have a lifespan of over 15 years and over the next coming weeks and months we'll be moving out to fire stations across the county.
