Fired up to spoil kids

Over the next week Canterbury Police Sergeant Dougall Struthers is swapping his patrol car for a beautifully restored fire truck.

Dougall and a group of his mates will be delivering goodies to school children as part of the long-running tour The Trillian Trek.

They’ve been working round the clock to get their 1985 decommissioned Dennis fire engine ready for the roadie, which is partnered with the charity Blue Light.
