Yesterday we responded to reports of a bin fire at Porthcurno which was extinguished using a hose reel jet.

The cause of the fire was due to the incorrect disposal of two barbecues.

Please be careful when using any type of barbecue and safely cool the coals before disposal.

This weeks drill night saw our firefighters complete a large combination drill. Tasks included building improvised dams, water supply using our major and light portable pumps, ladder drills, plus knots and lines.

On Tuesday evening our drill night was interrupted as our pumping appliance and light 4x4 was mobilised to a grain dryer fire.

On scene we worked with a farmer to empty the unit and to cool the contents using hose reel jets.

This week we went off station for drills to pump water from a local river using our major and light portable pumps.

In rural areas water supplies can be limited. It’s a vital skill to quickly source and use alternative water sources such as rivers to supply water to our pumps.
