A team of 60 specialist search and rescue workers from the UK have now arrived in Japan under the leadership of Hertfordshire Chief Fire Officer, Roy Wilsher.
The UK group have joined the US military in Ofunato where hundreds of people are still missing. Mr Wilsher said: “You can actually see the emotion on the faces of the people as we go by, they are so thankful to see us and we’re thankful to be here to help them.”
The UK team consists of members of Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Kent, Hampshire, Lancashire, West Midlands, Lincolnshire, West Sussex and Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Services.
