Congratulations to our latest cohort of Wholetime Firefighters who have graduated from their Initial Firefighter Training Course. 👏 Today was an excellent demonstration of skills and achievements from each individual in front of their family, friends and colleagues.

Congratulations too recruit course T01-22 Cumbria Fire & Rescue Service on passing out from you recruit course! Excellent work!

There is a severe risk of wild fire for the days ahead. In this heat, fires can quickly spread out of control and cause terrible damage to very sensitive and special places. Whatever your weekend plans are - please light no fires or BBQs in the landscape. Please leave no trace.

A small fire in the open can rapidly spread and quickly become a large incident. If you spot a fire - even a small one, get yourself to safety and call 999. 🚭 Dispose cigarette ends responsibly. 🔥 Don't BBQ or light fires in rural areas. 🗑️ Take your rubbish home.

Come and join us at Barrow Fire Station's Open Day this Sunday 21 August! 🚗 Practical demonstrations 🚒 Take a look around the fire station and our fleet and equipment 🧑‍🚒 Talk to our crews 🍦 Enjoy an ice cream! We look forward to seeing you there. BarrowFire

On behalf of Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service, our deepest condolences are sent to The Royal Family.

👏👏👏
