Today the sun will set on the Isle of Wight Fire & Rescue Service. End of an era but the start of a new chapter in the Service's history as we become the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire & Rescue Service under a new Combined Fire Authority. Thanks to all serving and past members.

Fire Control just received a 999 call to three teenagers stuck in baby swings in a park in Cowes. Though obliged to attend for humanitarian reasons, this is a waste of our time and resources & a cost to the community, the teenagers should have been at home.... #StayHomeStaySafe

Congratulations on a fantastic career. One of our own who started off as a retained firefighter on the Island 30 yrs ago. Well done Steve π
Our Deputy Chief Fire Officer, Steve Apter will be retiring in June 2021, after more than 30 yearsβ service.
Steve has been instrumental in both Hampshire and the Isle of Wightβs success and he will be sorely missed by staff across both services.

The crew from Cowes has spent the day at the training centre in Ryde.
The morning was spent brushing up on our firefighting techniques and a live fire assessment followed in the afternoon.

Today we carried out training in the area of RTC's. Our challenge was to create as much space internally by only using socket sets and small tools. Once we did this we used our hydraulic cutting tools to remove the roof.

If you know of a loved one going for a vaccine at one of the vaccination sites, tell them to look out for our βSafe & Wellβ cards. Distributed across 31 sites, it gives details of how to request a free Covid secure Safe & Well visit. @iwightfire @Hants_fire #teamwork #iwnews

With Lockdown 3, more people are waking for their daily exercise. If there is no footway or footpath, walk on the right-hand side of the road so you can see oncoming traffic. This will give you time to react if the veh has not seen you. Also wear bright clothing. #RoadSafety
