You need to have a head for heights to be the driver of a crane and it must be good to know that you are in safe hands in an emergency.

That's why it's important to invite the local Fire Service to site so they can practice this highly specialised task.

The team at Burscough were please to host the local station on a slightly overcast April day.  Thankfully it was just a practice and our crane driver had his feet firmly on the ground!
