Another busy day for the crew today as we were called to attend 4 incidents, and in addition swapped one of our 🚒 over with a spare 🚒 to allow for our new radios to be fitted.

As we are crewed entirely by on call crew who respond to a pager 📟 we are grateful to the crew, our family’s, employers, customers etc etc for their understanding in allowing us to leave what we are doing to respond 📟

One of our incidents this morning appeared to generate a bit of “stir” going by social media as we worked alongside our colleagues from Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance - SCAA. Thankfully on this occasion their expertise was not required by our 🚑 colleagues. Partnership working for the best outcome.

Come join us and this could be part of your day.

Without new crew members coming forward there is a risk we won’t have enough crew to respond at times and these incidents would need to be attended from crews in neighbouring stations which adds extra minutes when time matters. Come along to our open night to find out more on 6th July.

Thinking about joining us after our post last night??

Wonder what our Monday training night involves??

Well for tonight’s we headed to practice Search & Rescue of a commercial building and incorporated the use of fire escape hoods for casualties and our emergency air supply equipment for a trapped firefighter scenario.

We are thankful to Angus Council for supporting us with the use of one of their buildings to practice in.

Come join us and this could be what you are getting up to on a Monday night.

🔥🚒 BRECHIN FIRE STATION NEEDS YOU TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY TO KEEP IT SAFE!! 🔥🚒

We are in real need of people to become on-call Firefighters who are able to respond during the day and night from home or work.

At present we have a crew of 15 firefighters, which may sound a good number however considering we need a minimum of 8 people 24/7 to crew both fire engines this places a huge pressure on the 15 to try keep us available to respond to emergencies.

This could be your home or your loved one that needs the support of us, imagine we were not able to because we didn’t have enough crew?

Don’t panic our crew do a great job keeping us available at present however we need fresh crew members in order to sustain this.

Please don’t pass it on as someone else will do it or I’ll think about it and never get round to it. We hear this a lot!! If you have an interest or would like more information on what it is like to be an on-call firefighter please message our page!

We are saddened to hear the news of the passing of our former Station Officer Bill Harper on Monday 20th April.

Bill joined the then Angus Fire Brigade in September 1965 prior to its amalgamation into Tayside Fire Brigade serving an impressive 23 years prior to his retrial in January 1988.

Bill was a regular attendant at our events following his retrial attending several of our open days and would speak fondly of his time within the fire service. His grandson Adam inspired by Bill’s many stories would also later go on to follow in his grandfathers footsteps and join our crew which was a very proud moment for Bill. Adam would often tell us how Bill enjoyed hearing stories of incidents from Adam and the two of them would spend time comparing and sharing stories of incidents they had attended.

Our thoughts are with Bill’s family at this sad time.

Bill’s funeral service will take place at 14:30 at Brechin Cathedral on Wednesday (29th April) thereafter to Parkgrove Crematorium, Friockheim to which all family, friends and former colleagues are invited.

A bit of a different type of training night last night for us, all in aid of a good cause which will be revealed in the next few weeks… but for just now we will leave this here for you to ponder what we have got ourselves involved in 😂

🚶‍♂️🔥 SCAA 10k Sponsored Walk…Completed It ✅ 🔥🚶‍♀️

What a day! We’re proud to have taken part in and completed Jenna Glen and Eddie Bailie’s 10k sponsored walk supporting the incredible Scottish Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA). 🚁💛

It was great to see such a strong community turnout for a cause that means so much to us. Regularly working alongside SCAA, we know just how vital their life-saving service is across Scotland.

With the just giving page sitting at well over £8000 raised so far, with much more to be added from the after walk entertainment, a massive welll done to Jenna, Eddie, Margaret, Charlie, Karen and everyone else involved either in organising the day, took part in the walk or donated all making today a massive success for an amazing cause! 🙌
