Did you catch a glimpse of our turntable ladder aerial appliance on Wednesday? 🪜

Firefighters from Stanground Green Watch were training at their station. 🚒

Our turntable ladder extends to more than 30 metres high.

We've seen an increase in crews responding to out of control bonfires following the hot weather we had at the weekend.

Please don’t start bonfires during hot spells. The ground is incredibly dry and fire will spread fast.
