The Country is currently experiencing record high temperatures.
South Yorkshire Fire and rescue Service have highlighted the efforts their crew have been going to over the last 24 hours.
Firefighters have been busier than usual with the increasing temperatures being both difficult to work in, and causing further problems.
When we say it’s tough out there for our firefighters, we really aren’t joking.. 🥵
