Our new recruits only had to wait a matter of minutes for their first shout as we were mobilised to a water rescue incident near #Rumford on Monday evening. This was followed by a fire involving a small gas canister in #Wadebridge & a second water rescue incident near #StMerryn.

Our weekly training was based around Safety at Height And Confined Spaces (SHACS). We focused on work restraint systems and hauling various items of equipment aloft before returning to station for an e-learning module about fires in waste sites.

1. In Manchester over this bonfire weekend and really shocked with what I’ve heard and experienced. It’s become a real issue that Emergency Services get attacked whilst at incidents, and this doesn’t just happen on bonfire night.
Replying to @manchesterfire
Sadly, we’ve just been dealing with a fire involving multiple wheelie bins and timber in Little Lever, and our crew has come under attack from people throwing bricks. This is #BangOutOfOrder – our staff work tirelessly to protect others, they do not come to work to be attacked 😑

2. Crews should not have to be in fear about getting attacked whilst on jobs, but unfortunately this happens. An example from @manchesterfire last night when a crew came under attack by getting bricks thrown at them! #EmergencyServiceAware #bonfirenight2023 #BangOutOfOrder

Over the last month we’ve been extremely busy keeping on top of defects. We’ve also got @StMawesCFRS’ first away in for gearbox repair and @StAustellCFRS’ operational support in for a head gasket repair. πŸš’πŸš¨πŸ›

We aim to train in realistic conditions to best prepare us for the real thing. Here’s a short video showing how smoke can reduce a firefighter’s visibility to almost zero. Thanks to @BodminCFRS for use of their facilities last night during our weekly drill.

This evening we carried out Safety at Height and Confined Spaces (SHACS) training on the picturesque banks of the River Camel. A firefighter was committed on a line to carry out a casualty assessment and prevent further escalation by stabilising the situation.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you all from 10am onwards! Please note that due to being an operational fire station and for everyone’s safety, we cannot offer parking. However there are two car parks very close by, one directly behind the station and one opposite.
