Fire Service Search Dog’s Eric and Saxon

A great day's training with our Volunteer Ian. The searches proved to be a challenge for the boys because of the temperature, but shorter search times and plenty of breaks and water had them achieving a 100% success rate!

HIWFRS Fire Dogs training at 18

Merry Christmas from all @HantsFireDogs 🎅🐾🐾

Trainee Search Dogs Saxon and Red are enjoying their work experience detachment to @hiwfrs_control , where they've been answering the phone, deploying fire appliances and making the tea!🐾🐾
