Twins sample life in the fire service

Firefighters with students from Bielefeld - Exchange student Christian Riedl samples life as a fireman

BY DAMON WILKINSON

EXCHANGE students from one of Rochdale's twin towns spent a day in the life of a firefighter at Littleborough station.

Pupils from Bielefeld, in Germany; tried their hand at squirting hoses and climbing ladders, were given an insight into the British fire service and took a tour of the Calderbrook Road station.

Community fire safety officer Mick Cryer said: "We showed the students how the British fire service works and let them loose on the hoses.

"They thoroughly enjoyed themselves and took a few mementoes of their time in Littleborough back to Germany."
