AssetCo offer their admiration to the efforts of volunteer fire-fighters and aid workers in Haiti, helping save desperate lives. Amongst these volunteers are Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service’s specialist rescue fire-fighters and Chief Fire Officer, Mike Thomas.
The Sunday Times reports:
“British firemen have freed a two-year-old girl from a collapsed nursery where she had been trapped for 72 hours since the earthquake that devastated the capital of Haiti last Tuesday.
“The child, Mia Charlotte, was stuck in the rubble in Port-au-Prince with the bodies of several other children. Fire-fighters used their bare hands and basic tools to create a hole through which she could be pulled.
“As you can imagine with a child that small, she was very distressed when she saw a stranger’s face through the hole,” said Mike Thomas, the chief fire officer, from Lincolnshire.”
