firefighter story

A firefighter from Northampton has landed a starring role in a film being made by Northampton College to help recruit new students.

Mother of four Carla Williams, from Pitsford, who currently works as an on-call firefighter with Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue Service at Brixworth, donned her breathing apparatus as part of the re-enactment of a real fire in a student's house - which forms a central part of the film's storyline.

The student, whose story is due to be revealed later this summer when the film is launched, was unharmed in the fire and went on to successfully complete her course at the college in Booth Lane, Northampton.
