Watch: Reporter cut from car in Harrogate firefighter drill
Although two days are rarely the same for journalists, getting cut out of a car by Harrogate firefighters on a Monday morning (November 10) is particularly out of the ordinary.
After spending an evening shift with the firefighters on Wednesday (November 5), I was invited back on Monday morning to play the part of a driver in a road traffic collision drill.
In this particular drill, the firefighters had to rescue the unconscious victim from the vehicle with no immediate access points.
