Firefighters will be leaving from Shrewsbury to deliver aid, fire engines and equipment to Poland for those affected by the Russia-Ukraine War
Volunteers from Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service are setting off for Poland to deliver fire engines and equipment to colleagues in Ukraine.The 1,500-mile trip will see them pass through four countries after setting off from Shrewsbury Fire Station.Shrewsbury area manager for the fire service, Adam Matthews, told BBC Radio Shropshire taking part in the mission was a "chance in a lifetime".
"It's a bit of a cliché, but we do talk about the firefighting family a lot… It's not just the UK fire and rescue service... it goes across the world," he said."I've been quite humbled to have been chosen to go and I'm sure it will be an emotional moment when we get to the other end and actually hand that equipment over knowing what difference its going to make.
Chief fire officer Rod Hammerton said of the participants: "It's not going to be an easy ride and they are giving up their own time to deliver vital, and potentially lifesaving, supplies."Along the way, the volunteers will get overnight accommodation in a mixture of homestays and fire stations.Follow BBC West Midlands on
