Our latest news and events story

Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (HWFRS) responded to a thatched roof fire at a residential property in Broughton Green, Droitwich at 5:38pm on Thursday 13 December 2018. At its height, nine fire engines and two water carriers were in attendance from across the two counties – also assisted by colleagues from West Midlands Fire Service. The residents were safely evacuated and cared for by paramedic staff. However, sadly all the roof and most of the first floor wer...e destroyed by the fire. Area Commander Mark Preece of HWFRS said: “This is a timely reminder for people to check faulty electrical appliances, take particular care with log burners, get chimneys swept, and ensure Christmas lights and candles are never left unattended, to reduce the number of house fire tragedies over the holiday season.” For more information: https://bit.ly/2CcDRsP

You are wonderful - thank you so much for your help this morning. You were all so kind and helpful, can't thank you enough

Would just like to say thank you, I received my voucher in the post this week, which I won on a competition on your page. Thank you again x

Well done to Worcester fire brigade for rescuing the little dog trapped in a car on Saturday. You were amazing and also brightened up my Saturday afternoon!x

The team we met in Wickhamford today are a credit to society. We only went to see the engine at the end of the road and they gave our 5yo daughter a full tour and really got her interested in all of what you do.

Thanks again!!

Thank you to the wonderful crew who broke into my hot black car on a very sunny day to rescue my little boy (and my keys!). You are all superstars ÔøΩ

Thank you to the Ross crew that came to my parents and neighbours fire in the garden, you were very reassuring to them , it could of been a lot worse if it hadn't been for your prompt actions.

Thank you to all fire fighter's that attended my neighbours fire. Also a big thank you for my carbon monoxide alarm. After not having one for the last 4 months I am very happy to have a new one.

Thank you so much for your help today. Response time and friendly service from fire crews was incredible, especially on Christmas Day! Thank you again, very thankful and impressed with our emergency services.

Such a big thank you to the Firemen that came out today to rescue Meggy from under the log pile x

So impressed as to how caring you were last night, towards that poor dog we found stuck in the silt in Belbroughton! Fab!

On behalf of the Navy Training Corps is like to thank Green Watch at Worcester Fire Department especially Chris and Chris for showing us around and for being absolutely amazing with the cadets!! We can’t not speak more highly of you and the rest of your team! Thank you for a fantastic night!

Not only fire fighters but flood fighters too! Had a flood last Monday - panic set in - couldn't think straight - where was the stop tap?? A neighbour called the fire brigade and they were so helpful - sadly I dont remember half what went on as my mind and body joined up in panic mode!

I remember one of them giving me oxygen and they must have called the paramedics.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

How lucky we are to have our 999 services.

Huge thank you to Keith from bromsgrove who, whilst he was at Worcester station gave me and my two sons a tour of the fire engines to help with their homework. My boys enjoyed it a great deal especially being able to try on the helmet and sit in the cab. What we thought was just going to be a quick photo of the outside led to a very informative and helpful tour! Thank you Keith!

Big thanks to the guys who attended my tumble dryer fire this morning. They also sorted out my smoke alarms (one of which, I'd managed to pull out of the ceiling!) You all do an amazing job!

Big thank you to the Hereford crew( Red watch) who did our safety check , and fire alarms, much appreciated .

A huge THANK YOU the the Worcester Blue watch crew this evening for not only carrying out a home safety assessment, but also for inviting our autistic teenage son to have a tour of the fire engine (including lights and sounds!!) - you've made his week!!
