Great team working

We are currently supporting residents in Wellington due to a flooding event working alongside @WMerciaPolice @WestMerciaSAR and local partners.
The road is currently closed at the Cock Hotel to Domino’s pizza. #flooding #flood

[Craig Jackson @SFRS_cjackson]

Last night I attended two flooding incidents due to an extreme weather event over Church Stretton and Wellington. A huge thank you to crews and @SFRS_Control for their excellent response and compassion to their communities.
An effective multi agency response. @ShropshireStar

Last night the team was tasked by @WMerciaPolice to support the evacuation of residents from parts of #Wellington.

On scene were @shropsfire and units from @TelfordPolice working together to help the community.

A few weekends ago, some of the team took to the hills and woodlands around Shelve as part of the Silver @nnas_uk

The ability to navigate effectively is a core skill for everyone in the team.

#FloatToLive:

- Tilt your head back with ears submerged
- Relax - try to control your breathing
- Move your hands to help stay afloat
- Once over the initial shock, call for help or swim to safety
- Call 999 or 112 & ask for the coastguard.
