Rating: Some of us love it and others can't wait for it to end. But most people over the past chaotic 18 months have figured out ways of working from home. The emergency services can't do that. It's worst of all for firefighters, obviously — if they're working from home, it probably means their kitchen is ablaze. While a grateful nation stood on its doorsteps last year to applaud the nurses, paramedics and other NHS stalwarts who have kept us going through the pandemic, we've tended to ignore how tough it must have been on the ordinary men and women of the police and fire services. Crime and catastrophe don't stop just because of a virus.
