The results are in!
More than 400 firefighters competed at the UKRO Festival of Rescue 2022, representing nearly 40 fire and rescue services from across the UK, as well as a guest team from Ukraine.
The two-day Birmingham event was hosted on behalf of the UK Rescue Organisation by West Midlands Fire Service (WMFS).
Phil Loach, WMFS Chief Fire Officer, said: "It has been a pleasure and a privilege to host the festival and to showcase the best of Birmingham and the West Midlands. Many congratulations to all of the winners.
"While the festival is a competition, it’s also a rare and valuable opportunity for colleagues to learn from each other in such an environment and to be able to watch and ask questions and make valuable connections. It enhances the services we all provide to our communities."
