On Tuesday night, friends of Wadebridge Community Fire Station gathered to celebrate CM Steve Dyke’s final drill night after 45 years of service. In typical fashion we were called out to an emergency as the proceedings were about to get under way, but returned in time to celebrate all together.

An exciting announcement is on the horizon. 🕔

In preparation for this year’s Royal Cornwall Show, we have been testing hydrants in the area. With the show expected to attract 100,000+ visitors, it’s crucial that the hydrants are well maintained should they be required in an emergency at one of the region’s largest events.

This evening we took delivery of our new light 4x4 appliance! The vehicle is fitted with cutting-edge technology that enhances both its performance and safety, allowing for an efficient and effective response to wherever it may be required within our local community.

A first run out for our light 4x4 appliance this afternoon. Along with our major and line rescue unit from Bodmin Community Fire Station, it was mobilised to an animal rescue at Pinkson Creek.

Last night we simulated a property fire with persons reported. Firefighters entered the smoke-logged building wearing breathing apparatus to search for, locate and rescue five casualties. Our thanks to Olly at Waxworks for use of the venue. waxworkswadebridge.co.uk
