Paws up time for 'longest-serving' Hertfordshire fire dog
By Alex PopeBBC News, East
A dog described as the " longest-serving fire investigation dog" has put his paws up and retired.
Reqs, a black 11-year-old, Labrador, has worked for Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service since joining in 2012.
Nikki Harvey, his handler, told, he was " an amazing search dog" and was preparing for his New Life as her pet.
During his years of service he attended about 500 incidents, including finding a pet dog after an Clacton explosion.
His protégé Loki, will now take over.
Reqs was due To Retire earlier, but because of " unfortunate circumstances" with a trainee replacement dog, he stayed on, Ms Harvey, a Watch Commander , said.
" He's an amazing search dog, he was right from The Initial stages of his training.
" He just excelled in every area of his training really early on, so we could tell that he was going to be really good [and] be a competent fire and rescue and search dog. "
His " impeccable" sense of smell was used to detect accelerants at The Scenes of fire, The Service said.
" He's trained to detect ignitable liquids, things like petrol, white spirits, barbecue lighter fluid and cigarette lighter fluid, " Ms Harvey said.
Other cases he helped investigate included murder and attempted murder investigations, arsons and a false imprisonment.
Ms Harvey said he only went to scenes when it was safe for him, and he wore his extra-large protective boots to save his paws from sharp items.
" It's paws up on the sofa, he just becomes my pet dog now.
" He's happy to be lying on the sofa, eating things, playing with his ball. "
She Said one of her biggest jobs might be to keep Reqs away from food " as he's quite a greedy Labrador".
