Incident at Smyth’s toys this afternoon. Never seen so many ambulances, fire engines and police in attendance😆. Just a faulty light setting off alarms this time 🛎💡

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

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

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

With group exercise and team sports off at the moment, we need to make sure we are looking after each other’s 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

[North Somerset Gryphons Hockey Club @GryphonsHC]

we are running 1000 miles during lockdown to support the Alzheimer’s Society and the vital support they provide to those affected by dementia. Please check out our just giving page for more info!! 🏃‍♂️ ❤️ 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!
