Two Wisbech firefighters have won a national competition after beating off stiff competition from 19 teams from across the country.

Full-time firefighter Rob Wabe, left, and Gary Reach, a firefighter with the Ministry of Defence and retained firefighter at Wisbech, took part in the Trauma Challenge at Brighton.

The pair were presented with a scenario in which a casualty was injured in an explosion, trapped by falling rubble and suffering from multiple injuries.

The Cambridgeshire team was made up of Rob, Gary, Ian, Graham Brighty, Jamie Nobbs and Tim Simons, all based at Wisbech.
