When wildfires broke out across the Yorkshire Moors, emergency services were pushed to their limits and Galtres Retreat and Lodge Park, based in Pickering, was among the first to respond.
Within 24 hours, the holiday park was transformed into a temporary operations base for 75 firefighters deployed to tackle the blaze. The events centre at the park was converted into a command and rest hub, while the team mobilised every available lodge to provide much-needed accommodation for the crews.
Zak, the General Manager of Galtres Retreat Lodges, along with his family and staff, worked around the clock to ensure the firefighters had a warm welcome, a place to rest, and meals ready each day.
In addition to accommodation, Galtres has been providing daily breakfasts and evening meals for all crews, ensuring they remain fuelled and cared for as they carry out their vital work on the front lines.
Zak said:
“We’re proud to support the incredible men and women putting their lives at risk to protect our countryside and communities.
“When we got the call, there was no question – we knew we had to do whatever we could.”
