After 36 years’ service with DFRS at Chapel, Graham has decided to hang his helmet up for the last time on the 27th March 2022.
Last night was his final drill.
Enjoy your retirement pal, you have certainly earned it.

Never be tempted to drive into flood water – as little as 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move the average family car and 60cm of standing water can float a car. Road Closed, means Road Closed! ⛔️🚗

Most of us are half way through the working week, feeling tired, and are looking forward to the weekend; but remember to save relaxing on the sofa for after dinner and always keep an eye on cooking. 🍽🛋

Working from open water training this week! (Meaning pumping from streams, ponds, pools etc. instead of directly from a fire hydrant.) In this case, the crews created a dam by utilising ladders and salvage sheets @DFRSTraining
