One of the county’s fire engines will be used as part of a campaign to end violence against women and girls as it drives around on 999 calls.
The rebranded fire engine based at Highfield features a white ribbon branding and messages across its side.
Station Manager Chris Navin said: “Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is dedicated to supporting initiatives that make our community a safer and more inclusive place.
“We hope this action inspires others to join us in this vital cause.”
With the rebranding of the fire engine, the Fire Service has also taken steps to instil the same values in the workforce.
This includes staff awareness training, promoting positive workplace cultures, and engaging in community outreach to challenge harmful behaviours and attitudes.
Jeff Buck, White Ribbon ambassador, said: “We’re thrilled to see Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service taking such an active role in supporting the White Ribbon campaign.
“Over the past week, we have been training all four watch crews at Highfields as well as on-call firefighters from Stapleford and East Leake, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to advocate for and uphold the principles of the White Ribbon campaign.”
The fire engine will be at Beeston Light Night on Saturday January 25 from 7:30pm where people can meet the crew and see the fire engine.
