FIREFIGHTERS, police officers, paramedics and even RSPCA staff have teamed to create their own impressive mannequin challenge with an important message for the festive season.

The snowy crash scene gives an insight into the work faced by emergency services on an almost daily basis and is the brainchild of Wilmslow firefighter Usman Akthar.

Cheshire Fire and Rescue hopes the video will warn people about the dangers of drink driving, especially over Christmas.

Usman said; “On average 3,000 people are killed or seriously injured each year in drink drive collisions and firefighters are able to see first-hand the devastation and heartache one careless mistake can cause.

“We want to encourage everyone that it’s not worth the risk – imagine spending Christmas in hospital or mourning the death of a loved one lost in an accident that could have been prevented. It’s a tragedy that no-one should have to experience.

“We are so grateful to have had the support of our colleagues at the Police, the Ambulance Service and the local RSPCA in putting this video together.”
