Firefighters on their bikes, the greener way!
Firefighters in Somerset are helping out the environment and increasingly congested roads by using bicycles.
The two bikes, which were provided in partnership with Ian's Cycle Centre in Taunton, will be used for Community Safety events and meetings in and around the Taunton and Bridgwater areas.
One will be based with Fire Community Safety Officer Bob Telfer at the Victoria Park Community Centre in Bridgwater, and the other at the Area Headquarters, Chiltern House, Taunton.
Area Commander Dave Robinson said: "Using the bikes for community safety work and to attend local meetings instead of using cars, is just one way that we can address environmental concerns locally."
If the scheme proves to be successful, it will be expanded to other parts of the Somerset area.
