I have been a member of the Hertfordshire 4X4 Response since its inception and we have really come into our own this week. We have been on standby to support the East of England Ambulance Service since last Sunday. But the phone really started to go off today with requests from Bedfordshire Ambulance service to help snow bound staff get in to work. If it hadn’t been for my Land Rover I wouldn’t have got into work myself this week, the roads out of the village not having been ploughed or salted.
The Hertfordshire 4×4 response unit was set up in 2007 to aid the Emergency Services and Local Authorities in the event of severe weather, flood or other emergency where four wheel drive vehicles were required for the response.
