The Festival of Rescue starts a week before for the UKRO team. Within our logistics team particularly we've got people that come from the very north of Scotland just to drive a digger to prepare the vehicles before they go into the challenge. The team - they are the people who make the challenges special. The can-do, Fire Service willingness to put on an event, bring people together and learn is what makes it a success. By that point, everything is in place, but you do come across some of the 'other' challenges that are all part of putting together an event of this size. It might be a bin, concrete block or one of the other little elements that can get forgotten about - but it'll be sorted because everyone gets together and we enjoy it. And sometimes they're the stories you can tell in the pub after!
