A fire crew from Loughton attended a house fire earlier today that was caused by the sun being reflected off a mirror onto a curtain. The heat poses multiple dangers that most people do not normally consider so please be careful out there during this heatwave.

🚒 Appliance upgrade!

Recently, we recieved a newer model fire engine at Wethersfield fire station, showcasing some of the latest technology in modern-day fire fighting!

Before Wethersfield, our new appliance was based at Harlow Central fire station where it protected Harlow and the surrounding communities for many years.

Our old pump will be greatly missed by the crew, having served the community of Wethersfield for the last 10 years is now moving into the services fleet of spare appliances.
