Crews from crewkerne, chard, Axminster, martock & ilminster dealt with a fire in this vacant building used 4 cannabis production. We had 17 teams in breathing apparatus. Hazards are Zero visibility Hanging electric cables Live electrics Internal renovations High heat Hidden voids

It was a privilege to be asked to join #martock fire station in the #yeovilgroup for a station photo. When the shout comes in this is the team ready to respond. A great team that the people of Martock should be very proud of.

Tonight I missed the practical RTC drill at #ilminster due to a fire call in the #yeovilgroup but I did arrive for the final 30min video and debrief. Tonight the main objective was the dash lift.

There was intense heat at this property fire last night. Crews from #axminster, #chard & #martock prevented fire spread to the rest of property and any damage to next door. Please, please remember to do a night time check before going to bed.

There is a MASSIVE difference between PERFORMATIVE action & PRAGMATIC action on inclusion. Performative is being seen to do something by curating an image & rhetoric that implies imminent change. Pragmatic is changing structures, policy & personal behaviour & measuring change.

Please remember to be safe on the mud and sand along the beautiful Jurrasic coast. There are sections that can be extremely soft. This mud rescue of a young curious adventurer was expertly dealt with by coastguard, DWFRS and DSFRS.

Amazing use on our On Call Stn Information sheets to help recruitment at Dartmouth. So much info on 2 pages. A chance to make a real difference to your community #needmore #oncall Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service This stn is on our new pay for availability scheme. 👍

#InternationalWomensDay - À tous ceux qui pensent qu'une femme qui veut devenir pompier se trompe de voie. Nous leur répondons, qu'eux, se trompent d'époque. En attendant, la planche est validée... Qu'en est-il de celle des réfractaires ? #JourneeDesDroitsDesFemmes

2 more fire fighter development assessments completed for #ilminster in the #yeovilgroup. This month it was shacs and being the assessor was interesting when one of the fire fighters is a rock climbing instructor !

Also spoke to a potential recruit for on call in the #yeovilgroup. He can give cover during the day but weekends is really difficult due to outdoor hobbies and activities.....pay 4 availability anyone? A system that allows bespoke hours to suit you and the station.

Observed a great high tempo turnout drill at #axminster in the #yeovilgroup this evening. Fast straight to the point brief - period property, persons reported, serious fire, crew of 4, rapid deployment. This isn't about just being just good enough it's training 4 excellence.

So the good practice put in by #axminster #yeovilgroup Tuesday night paid of. This morning the crew faced a fire in a basement. A fast response within minutes and rapid layout of attack jets and safety jets allowed a breathing apparatus to extinguish the fire before it spread.

Every time I visit #ilminster in the #yeovilgroup I can't help but be impressed with the presentation of their PPE. Amazing standards. Looking after your kit is the foundation of being professional and effective.

Drill at #martock in the #yeovilgroup. Car with covid positive driver crashes into high pressure gas main. Explosive atmosphere, unconscious casualty medically trapped. During rescue van moves and FF gets leg trapped underneath. Crew of 7...get to work. Train for excellence.

Absolutely love this interview.

This lad’s sporting impressions are hilarious… we all know a ‘self-entitled’ cyclist 😂# @SPORTbible

The chard FF development hub in the #yeovilgroup is a high intensity session that replicates the fast thinking, team work required for the incident ground. This session is designed to make you sweat and the crews LOVE it.

Following some large incidents it was identified that a refresh was needed on running BA sector command. A FF has designed a great BA sector exercise to simulate a large incident. This will be shared among all my stations. Great work team. #yeovilgroup #martock #dsupdates

Tonight was our first exercise since lockdown began. Training off station at a local risk is the best training a FF can have. Multiple persons reported in a heavily smoke logged building. Well done to #chard #axminster #ilminster #martock at #dsfireupdates
