Ben Ansell - who's in charge of Dorset and Wiltshire Fire & Rescue service - speaks to reporter Karen Gardner. A police investigation and a review have been ordered after claims firefighters from the service shared photos of dead women and sexually harrassed female colleagues. A female firefighter told ITV News she had heard comments about the type of underwear women had worn in crashes. DWFS said it was "shocked and appalled" by the allegations. Dorset Police said it would lead inquiries, after consulting Wiltshire Police.
