Incident at Smythโs toys this afternoon. Never seen so many ambulances, fire engines and police in attendance๐. Just a faulty light setting off alarms this time ๐๐ก
Thanks to Steph from @swasFT HART team for taking one of our crew through some essential trauma care training yesterday. Plenty to pass on to the rest of the station to keep our casualties safe and well
Do you live near Patchway station?
If you come along and find our poster you can scan the QR code to get a sneak peak of Fidoโs Fire Fit Challenge video. You can also enter our competition to win a school visit from Fido and @afrscyp next term!
Sadly 80% of accidents to under-5s happen in the home.

Here's some tips to keep them safe:
- Have an escape plan
- Keep things that can cause fire out of reach
- Supervise children around fire, heaters & cookers

#ChildSafetyWeek
Under 2 weeks to go before one of our firefighters competes in the @chestertri deva triathlon for @mariecurieuk in memory of her aunt. Any support would be greatly appreciated https://t.co/kYjOWD1cJy #itsalongway#swimbikerun
Red watch have just helped get a little boy out of a car who accidentally locked himself in. Thank you very much to the kind staff at @HIExpress in Filton for the coffee and bacon baps whilst we were there!
Red watch have been out practicing our pumping from open water capability at Aztec west. We also tested our new branches to see how far they reach #excusetheknots#wet&windy
44% of people who accidentally drowned in 2019 had no intention of entering the water. Would you know what to do if you fell in? #FloatToLive#BeWaterAware https://t.co/VN4pP2zHUB
Thanks to @AFRSHicksGate for organising the hot fire exercise for us @AFRSBath @AFRSKingswood and @AFRSYate yesterday. Sorting out the weather for us went down well too ๐๐ #stn04red
@AFRSBedminster came to visit for some hazmat familiarisation. We went through a chemical leak scenario and full decontamination procedures #notjustfires#gastight
With group exercise and team sports off at the moment, we need to make sure we are looking after each otherโs physical and mental health from afar. One of our firefighters is part of a team encouraging this by collectively running 1000 miles and raising money for a great cause
we are running 1000 miles during lockdown to support the Alzheimerโs Society and the vital support they provide to those affected by dementia. Please check out our just giving page for more info!! ๐โโ๏ธ โค๏ธ https://t.co/D2AlQ7jiwH @Somerset_Hockey@swsportsnews
A small fire in the woods meant a bit of a walk with our aqua pack this evening to put it out. Please be mindful of how quickly fires like this can spread!
