A firefighter from West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service has been providing support in the wake of rising waters at Whaley Bridge Dam.

Marvin Smith, a National Resilience Flood Rescue Tactical Advisor was called upon over the weekend following the partial collapse of the dam in Derbyshire.

With less stormy weather forecast over the next few days, it is likely that he will be stood down, although work is expected to continue at the reservoir for a number of days to bring the water level down further.
