Thanks Essex Fire Service, the drinks are on us!

Thanks Essex Fire Service, the drinks are on us!

The blue light services who put themselves in danger for our good deserve special recognition, that is why during the extraordinary heatwave this week we hit the supermarket and bought Hawkwell Firefighters a drink or two on us!

We had a surplus in the Amos petty cash and wanted to do something positive so we spoke to Corrina O'Donnell Uik from United in Kind who told us about the brilliant work being delivered by the firefighters at Hawkwell Fire Station during the heatwave. They have been attending incidents right across the County. Can you imagine wearing full kit in the oppressive heat we have experienced, must have been challenging to say the least.

Anyway, we headed to the supermarket and spent the rest of the kitty on some well deserved drinks and snacks for the team at Hawkwell for when they finally get a break. Thanks Corrina for the idea and huge thanks to Essex Fire Service.
