Fire Dogs Woodie and Twix work for County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service (CDDFRS) where they carry out an important role in helping identify the use of ignitable liquids at incidents where arson is suspected.
The English Springer Spaniels are based at Bishop Auckland Fire Station and are expertly looked after by Colin Davis, the Service’s Fire Investigation Search Dog Handler and Divisional Manager.
Every day they undergo training to sniff out even the smallest quantities of ignitable liquids to ensure they are always ready to assist Fire Investigation Officers at an incident.
