We just wanted to express our thanks and gratitude to the men and the ladys who attended our property June 28th, 2018. you were all fantastic and professional, keeping calm in what for us was a very stressful situation my daughters cat was rescued we are very sorry for having to call but are extremely grateful to you all.. darlington fire and rescue #cddfrs

We just wanted to express our thanks and gratitude to the men and the lady who attended our property June 14th, 2018.

For us as a charity, it was a devastating situation to be in and you were all fantastic and professional, keeping calm in what for us was a very stressful situation. Without a doubt, the consequences for our wonderful charity would have been more severe without the swift containment and management of the situation.

Once again, from the bottom of our hearts, Thank You all

The speed in which they arrived was amazing considering we were in darkness on a small farm in the middle of fields. Rupert the horse and ourselves are eternally grateful.
