I wouldn't expect firemen to go into a burning building, and they didn't have the correct PPE and they would be at serious risk of harm.

 

You're OK them standing by and watch someone potentially drown or die of hypothermia though because their wellies only go to the knee though yes?

Well if the water is that shallow and safe why didn't the moron driver simply get out of the car then?   In fact, why did the moron call the emergency services in the first place?  

 

I mean, its obviously all so simple right?

Shame you couldn't resist having a dig though. Ah well, maybe next time.

If it was so dangerous requiring specialized equipment how come the members of the public had no problems?

Are they related to Aquaman or something?🙄

It strikes me that The Mail is milking the story; how they do love to try show H&S in a bad light.

The Fire Brigade are well aware of this ford, and clearly get regular callouts there, so seem to have a well practiced procedure in place.
Guess what, even The Mail knows that, as they recently reported a similar incident;

I often find it's worth trying to read behind the headlines to see the agenda of the https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-67642544 news media.
