Important update from Matt Cook our Chief Fire Officer:
Vital rescue equipment has been stolen from our Service locations.
This is equipment our firefighters rely on to help save lives at road traffic collisions and other emergencies.
We’re working with the police and strengthening security, but we need your help.
What we need you to do:
Be vigilant around fire stations, fire engines and emergency equipment
Do not approach or confront anyone suspicious
Call 999 if you see a crime happening now
Call 101 if you have information that could help police enquiries
If you live near one of our rural stations, your vigilance could make a real difference.
