This weekend we updated our training on using Cold Cut Cobra a very useful bit of kit. If you want to know about it just ask! We also drilled on BA set removal during a simulated persons reported rescue. No pictures of that one as was very dark and smoke filled !

20:27 - Spilsby Fire Station went to Middlemarsh Road, Croft to reports of a car fire which they extinguished using 2 breathing apparatus and 2 hosereel jets.

Busy evening yesterday assisting other stations at a large incident in Boston. Thankfully surrounding properties were kept safe.

Drill night last night was a run through on RTC including door removal and a roof peel. Our development firefighter was also able to have some observations done which will see him progress further towards full competency.

11:44 Spilsby Fire Station attended an incident on Scremby Road, Partney. One car & one motorcycle were extinguished using 2 hose reels, fire was caused by impact following an RTC.

Last night we took advantage of the mind evening by brushing up on our pumping skills. Water taken from river via light pump into a improvised dam then into our main pump to supply a main jet to fight fire.

Flipping Heck! Did you know that cooking is the number one cause of accidental fires in the home? Be alert while cooking don't get distracted and always turn off appliances once you have finished with them PS do you know what the best pancake topping is? ..More pancakes !! :)

18:41 SkegnessFireStation, Wainfleet fire Station & Spilsby Fire Station attended Barnack Estate, Burgh Le Marsh to a domestic shed on fire. Severe damage by fire to 1 shed and contents, fencing, 1 telegraph pole and roof of another shed. Extinguished using 2 hose reels and 2 thermal imaging cameras.

Last night we welcomed Spilsby Squirrels (this is for children aged between 4 and 6 years old) They learnt about smoke detectors, escape plans and how to keep low if there was smoke in a room. Plus of course we squirted some water! Brilliant fun had by all. 2nd Spilsby Scouts

We may be going off line from 31st March due to a technical issue but don't worry we will be back as soon as we can! Our crew love to show you what we do as well as give you some important messages on fire safety etc. Fingers crossed we don't lose any of you! #staysafe

We seem to be back online! Our crews have been busy recently with a while range of incidents along with our weekly training. We will continue to keep you updated with what we do along with some good practical safety advice.

Testing one of our local hydrants along with our light portable pump to ensure we have everything we need in full working order. This can also be used as an observation for our development firefighter.

This young man called Mason was excited when he saw our crew in town we had to invite him for a look at the truck and of course get a picture ! Future Fighfighter!

A very nice and unexpected gift from Spilsby Flower Arranging Club last night. Thank You

Some very useful information to follow for fire safety in the kitchen.

Would you be able to get out of your home with your eyes shut? Smoke from a fire can be very thick and black – plan and practise an escape route! If you have a fire, get everyone out and call 999. Remember, don’t go back in! #EscapePlan #GetOutStayOut

Had great time at Spilsby Bike Night last night. So good to see the town full of people not only interested in bikes but what we do and getting hands on some tools to show how we do it!
