There are many wonderful dogs with jobs!! The Fire Investigation Search Dogs have searched more than 1,700 potential crime scenes across Hampshire and other counties since they were first introduced in 2006. These visits have resulted in prison sentences totalling more than 500 years as the dogs are trained and licenced with Hampshire and Thames Valley Police. The dogs work at speed to locate vapour from ignitable liquids with greater accuracy than the latest electronic field equipment. This work reduces the number of samples needed for forensic testing.The dogs have previously showcased their skills to other fire and rescue services, police forces in Turkey and Afghanistan, and made appearances at Crufts.
You can find out what the dogs are up to on their award-winning Twitter page (@HantsFireDogs) which has amassed an audience of nearly 9,000 loyal followers.
Don’t miss the chance to catch our Fire Investigation dogs – Millie, Harvey, Ruby and Hoodie – and our Urban Search and Rescue team dog, Harley.
