Northumberland firefighters have delivered a potentially lifesaving gift to brave emergency service workers in Ukraine.
Four members of Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) undertook an arduous journey through Europe to reach the border of the war-torn country, driving two fire engines to help their Ukrainian colleagues.
As the Russian invasion continues, the North East has rallied round to support Ukraine, sending tonnes of humanitarian aid to help both refugees and those trapped inside the country. And after offering fire stations across the county as collection points for donations, NFRS staff decided to offer a significant donation of their own.
