We've also had four brand new, shiny firefighters join us here @AshbourneStn during 2025, following the most recent training course @DerbyshireFRS and already they've all had a taste of life at the sharp end, responding to emergencies, helping keep our communities safe 🚒🔥👨🏻‍🚒

@FireNews23 Hi, for any water rescue incident in Derbyshire, the pre-determined attendance (PDA) is two nearest water ladders and two nearest water rescue units. This is more for firefighter safety, than for what is required to carry out a rescue.

[AshbourneFireStnD23 @AshbourneStn]

With Storm Bert crossing the county over the last day or, @AshbourneStn have been busy with a chimney fire last night, a fire alarm early this morning and then a water rescue from Tissington Ford late morning. Take care out there in this weather, and stay away from open water! 🚒

[AshbourneFireStnD23 @AshbourneStn]

Early start for @AshbourneStn and @FireWirksworth this morning, attending a car fire in Kirk Ireton. Unfortunately the car was beyond repair, however quick action by firefighters wearing BA stopped the fire spreading to a fence and adjoining property #hereforyou #teamDFRS 🔥💦🚒

[AshbourneFireStnD23 @AshbourneStn]

The water carrier from @AshbourneStn has attended this morning, and remain on scene supplying water for the incident 🚒💦🔥
