Incident 🚨 🐶
Tonight we’ve been to Caldewgate to rescue Bruno, a spaniel puppy, who was wedged 3 feet down between two walls just 7 inches apart.
After an hour of the crew cajoling and breaking render, Bruno was finally freed.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place as they say.

Great Cross border BA exercise tonight with Longtown, Langholm and Gretna. Understanding the differences between the neighbouring fire services enhances our skills and ability to provide a stronger and safer outcome. Thank you to SFRS for organising a great night.🔥🚒

Earlier this week Green Watch visited the bay in Denton Holme to show people how to use a throwline - so they can take advantage of the emergency throwline that’s been installed there.
We’ll be doing more water safety this weekend near the city’s rivers. Keep an eye out for us!🚒
