Security at stations

A member of the public has been walking into fire stations in the West Midlands, posing as a photographer to film members of staff and the station and then posting the footage on YouTube.

It appears that the individual’s aim is to try and get around as much of the station as possible without being challenged and he has said he will be moving on to other emergency services next.

The man wears a tactical black vest with a recording camera attached and is not thought to be dangerous. However, could you please be vigilant as always when letting people into stations and ensure you know why and who they are visiting.
