A NORTH Yorkshire MP has visited a Bentham manufacturing facility to see the latest in British firefighting technology.

Julian Smith, MP for Skipton and Ripon, visited Angus Fire and was given a demonstration of the new Angus CoolFire firefighting system as well as discussing the changing political landscape for the UK's Fire and Rescue Service.

Angus Fire employs more than 200 people, exports over 70 per cent of its production and engages in a number of activities to support the local community.
