Airport firefighters donate helmets to Macedonia

Firefighting equipment no longer needed at Stansted Airport is being donated to help save lives in Eastern Europe.

30 decommissioned Cromwell Helmets, retired by the airport’s fire service, will be shipped to Macedonia by the firefighter charity, Operation Florian. Based in the UK, the charity provides equipment and training to improve fire fighting capabilities in developing countries around the world.
