Our crews have been in attendance at a large wildfire in Fauldhouse over the last 3 days. The fire is continuing to burn in small areas of the forrest and crews are continuing to dampen down any remaining hot spots and prevent any further fire spread.

With the warm weather set to stay for a while, here’s a few tips to help keep everyone safe:

✅ Avoid BBQs and campfires
✅ Never discard ci******es or litter
✅ Stick to marked paths and avoid dry vegetation
✅ Call 999 if you spot signs of fire

Fires can ignite quickly and spread fast during this period, so we urge you to use caution and avoid using any items involving a naked flame to help reduce the risk of wildfires.

A fantastic day for us being a part of Jaxon’s Gift Community Day held at the Albyn today.

It was brilliant to see such an amazing turnout and to see a community come together again to support Jaxon’s Gift.

Some of our crew were able to take part in the 7-a-side football matches which was so much fun for everyone, although there may be a few sore legs in the morning.

We hope all the kids had a brilliant time being able to hop in and get shown around our appliance, we certainly loved seeing the smiles on all your faces.

Massive thank you to Watch Commander McKenzie and all at Jaxon’s Gift for allowing us to be part of this special day 🧡

Broxburn Fire Station pride ourselves on responding to turn outs safely and dealing with incidents efficiently.

The junction box, which is yellow with a criss cross pattern, is situated on the road outside of the fire station. These are designed to stop traffic from blocking the appliance path on exit.

Keeping this area clear from traffic while help us be able to respond to incidents with as little disruption as possible.

Thanks for your help.

We would like to say a massive thank you to Andrew Lamb & Laura Cameron from the Scottish Ambulance Service for coming along to our drill night last night for some joint learning scenarios.

Our crew were able to demonstrate how we carry out our casualty care. From A-E assessments, wound management and obtaining information for handover forms.

We were also able to try out CPR on a dummy which is connected through Bluetooth. This allowed us to see whether the depth and speed is correct through an app on our phone when carrying out chest compressions on a casualty.

Massive thank you again to Scottish Ambulance Service for your help.

Yesterday, our crew took part in a Road Traffic Collision (RTC) training day at Bathgate Fire Station alongside Livingston Fire Station on-call crew.

We were able to get hands on with all equipment for these types of incidents, carrying out roof and door removals and casualty extraction during our scenario drills whilst also learning new techniques that can help our crews in the future.

Thank you to Crew Commanders Logan Ritchie & Charlie O’Hanlon for leading today’s training and helping our crew out.

In light of some recent incidents where crews have been unable to locate a fire for some time or at all, we’d like to share an app that can help the public and our crews.

What3Words is app that can be used by anyone to help pinpoint an exact location. This pinpoint location will then generate 3 random words, which can then be passed over during the 999 call to our Operation Control team on the other side.

Whether you are unsure of where you are and don’t know street names, or it’s something in the distance, using What3Words can help save crews valuable time in locating and dealing with the incident efficiently. With us coming into wildfire season now, this app can prove to be vital.

Below is a link to the app where it is free to download.

Thanks for your help.

Sadly we wave goodbye to Firefighter Jay Aitken who has decided to leave Broxburn Fire Station after 2 incredible years, as he moves on to try different challenges.

Jay joined the Fire Service in March 2024 and has since dedicated himself to becoming an absolutely brilliant firefighter. He has helped protect and serve his community and surrounding areas for over 2 years.

Watch Commander McKenzie and the crew got together to thank Jay for his service at his final drill night.

Everyone at Broxburn Fire Station wishes you the very best for whatever your future holds Jay.

We would like to congratulate one of our crew members, Crew Commander Shelley Boyd on her recent promotion.

Shelley passed the Ticket to Ride assessments in October 2025 and has just successfully passed the interview stage to become Crew Commander.

Shelley can now take charge of various incidents we attend and having joined Broxburn Fire Station in 2010 and also working full-time with Scottish Ambulance Service, Shelley will bring a vast amount of knowledge, skills and experience into this new role.

Well done Shelley.
