Back in January, nine fire service staff from Greater Manchester went out to Haiti as part of a larger search team to help with the rescue attempts following the devastating earthquake. I’m extremely proud of the dedication and hard work that they showed out in Haiti; all nine members of the team were a huge credit to themselves and to Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service.
Sadly, Echo the search-and-rescue dog was quarantined on return to Britain, which I thought was a daft decision. I’m really pleased to read today that Echo is now out of quarantine and back home with his handler Mike Dewar. Mike is one of the most dedicated people I’ve ever met and I’m delighted that he has been reunited with his dog.
