Biker firefighters from West Sussex County Council Fire and Rescue Service have taken delivery of a second FireBreak motorcycle '“ a Triumph Sprint ST with a flashy eye-catching livery.

The new bike follows the success of the first, which was introduced to the service last year.

County councillor Peter Evans, who is an enthusiastic biker, said: "Our firefighters regularly witness the tragic consequences of poor riding skills when they attend road traffic collisions and have to rescue casualties from the wreckage.

"The new bike is a welcome addition in their fight to reduce motorbike accidents on our roads."
