Four Suffolk firefighters will be attempting to break THREE world records when they run a half marathon in FULL firefighting gear.

The runners will be tackling the Ipswich Half Marathon on September 22.

One runner will be wearing physical training kit and breathing apparatus, while another will be in full firefighting kit and continuously breathing air from their breathing apparatus set.

The final two runners will be wearing full fire kit and breathing apparatus sets.

They hope to set new world records in their different firefighting kits and to raise money to support The Firefighters Charity and Cancer Research UK

The team said on Facebook: The charities are close to our hearts as we are also remembering our colleagues and friends; Trevor 'Trev' Bryson, Steve 'Simmo', Simmons and Michael 'Mikey' Matthews.”
