Delighted to have been selected as the new DCFO for Derbyshire. It has been a pleasure & a privilege to work within this excellent organisation. I hope the new role will provide the opportunity to do even more for our communities and champion the unique value of the Fire Service.
Luckily an off duty firefighter came across this before it got too big, it deprived the town of two front line firefighting appliances while it was dealt with though. We were lucky, this time!

Another moorland fire!
🔥 Please act responsibly. Do not take BBQs into the @peakdistrict
Crews were called@ 13.45 to approx 3 hectares of farm land🔥@ Rushup Edge. Initial reports indicate it started as people were cooking near the footpath/bridleway. #BeFireAware#BeMoorAware
Six fire crews were on the moorland working with @peakdistrict rangers & mountain rescue to prevent the spread, protecting the moorland & ewes in lamb close to the area!
Act responsibly - Do not take BBQs into the Peak District. #BeFireAware#BeMoorAware#NoBBQs
A really valuable, quality training session for Rope Rescue (SWAH2) crews at Buxton. Facilitated by kind permission of @McCarthyStone Great learning (Hooks, FF Bennison!!) and streamlining of our access procedures and techniques. Great partnership working assisting us all!
A huge thank you to @McCarthyStone for this unique training environment. It allowed crews to clarify their procedures and techniques and is a great example of partnership working that allows us to prepare for an incident before it happens! Thank You!
Buxton Green Watch were the last watch receiving water rescue (DEFRA Mod4) training from @DFRSTraining today, before training turns towards much needed exposure to significant flow, cross currents and challenging hydrology at Menai Straits.
Just a matter of seconds could make all the difference for firefighters on their way to emergency callouts. That's why this is such an important message from @BuxtonFire
