More than 2,000 deliveries of essential medication have now been delivered by firefighters to some of the most vulnerable people across the county. Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) was asked to support the community resilience partnership response to the pandemic by aiding in pharmacy deliveries to those who are shielding and need to stay at home as they are particularly at risk from Covid-19.

In total, firefighters from 11 of NFRSs on-call fire stations have been called on to assist in the deliveries. Support has also been provided by wholetime crews and members of NFRSs Home Safety Team.
