Open day at Torquay Fire Station this Saturday 27 July, 10.00am to 4.00pm. A great day out for everyone - learn more about the work we do in your community. Lots of fun stuff for the kids including a bouncy castle, live music, plus fire safety demonstrations.

Here's a nice explanation of what it means to be an on-call firefighter. Thanks to all of our on-call firefighters.

Did you know …we support vulnerable members of the community with home safety checks & visits & help install additional fire safety equipment, for example vibrating smoke alarms for the hard of hearing. https://shar.es/aXnEup

We’re still here in Porlock to answer your questions, give you information, or provide you with a paper copy of the consultation questionnaire. Please do drop in if you’re the area. We had a big rush at the start but these consultation events are designed to be drop-in affairs so you can come at any point that suits you during the event. We’ll be here until 5pm.

Thanks to Wells Cathedral and our friends from partner agencies for taking part in our multi-agency exercise on Saturday. A great opportunity to practise our firefighting procedures.

Heading to the moors this weekend? As the warm weather continues we are reminding everyone of the impact & damage that a wild fire has on the environment. They spread fast & can change direction in an instance while destroying irreplaceable habitats. shar.es/amAaWU

Take extra care this summer if lighting a bonfire or BBQ near a field of dry grass or hay. It can easily ignite and put you at serious risk from the resulting fire. Check your surroundings first and make sure there is nothing flammable nearby before burning rubbish or lighting BBQs. For more information on lighting a bonfire safely go to http://socsi.in/GfxHB
