Firefighters Pennine Challenge

Firefighters from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service are raising funds for London Air Ambulance & The Firefighters Charity. 

On 28th September Firefighters throughout the county will be rising to the challenge of a run/walk/cycle throughout all stations within the Pennine area. 

The event will start with a walk in full fire kit & breathing apparatus from Padiham fire station to Burnley fire station, then we will cycle from Burnley fire station to Bacup fire station. From Bacup we will run to Rawtenstall fire station before walking in fire kit and breathing apparatus to Haslingden fire station. From Haslingden we will cycle to Nelson fire station before walking in fire kit and breathing apparatus to Colne fire station then run to Earby fire station. From Earby we will complete our last walk in fire kit and breathing apparatus before the final cycle route back to Padiham fire station.

In total the event covers an approximate 11-mile walk, 10 miles running and 45 miles of cycling.

London’s Air Ambulance is the charity that delivers an advanced trauma team to London’s most seriously injured patients.

Using a helicopter from 08:00 to sunset, and rapid response cars at night or in adverse weather situations, London’s Air Ambulance brings the hospital to the patient when time is critical. We perform innovative and potentially life-saving procedures usually found in the emergency department on-scene. The team, consisting of an advanced trauma doctor, paramedic and consultant on most missions, can perform treatments such as open heart surgery, blood transfusions and general anaesthetic by the roadside.

By providing intervention as quickly as possible after injury, we aim to give patients the best chance of survival, and best quality of life, after trauma.

We serve the 10 million people that live work and travel within the M25, treating an average of five patients every day. The most common incidents we attend include road traffic collisions, stabbings and shootings, falls from height and incidents on the rail network.

The Fire Fighters Charity offers specialist, lifelong support for members of the UK fire services community, empowering individuals to achieve mental, physical and social wellbeing throughout their lives.
