Ben Everitt, the MP for Milton Keynes North, joined firefighters from Newport Pagnell Fire Station for a water rescue training exercise at Tongwell Lake on Friday (4th November).
Ben has been keen to meet with local firefighters and understand more about their role within the community and was first given a tour of the fire station at Newport Pagnell and heard more about their plans to work closer with the policing team in the town.
After completing 25 of his 100 daily press-ups in November for Cancer Research UK at the fire station, Ben then joined the crew at Tongwell Lake to undertake a series of training drills, including a capsize excerise.
