Crews from Broughton and Bletchley Red Watch, have taken part in a joint training exercise with South Central Ambulance Service. The purpose of this interoperability training, is to make personnel aware of each other’s work practices, capabilities and specific roles when attending incidents. The day consisted of several road traffic collision scenario, which allow us to fine tune our skills on rapid and full extrication techniques. As well as casualty care and dealing with trauma 🚒🚑🚒🚑
Red Watch carrying out confined space training. Which basically means squeezing through a little hole, whilst still breathing using a breathing apparatus set 😁🚒

Broughton attended a Bathroom fire last week, which involved candles being used on a wooden surface and incorrect candle holder. Luckily the occupant closed the bathroom door before exiting the building. These images show the importance of shutting your doors at night and in a fire situation. The fire was contained in that room until emergency services arrived.
... Don’t forget: *Shut all doors at night. *Use appropriate candle holders *Make sure you don’t place candles next to anything flammable. *Get out, Stay out, Call 999.
