This morning the crew visited the stunning Bowood House & Gardens to conduct a familiarisation visit, which allows us as a station to understand the risks associated with the house and allows us to work with the on site teams if the worse was to ever happen. Thanks for the invite and allowing us to have a look around.

TURNOUT: 17.17 yesterday evening we were mobilised to a thatched roof fire in Potterne. At the height of the incident there were 10 fire engines plus support vehicles from across DWFireRescue. Crews worked extremely hard into the night to create fire breaks in the thatch and prevent fire spread, and prevent the whole roof from being destroyed. Further relief crews continued working through the night to ensure the fire was fully extinguished.

We really hope you won't need to call us for help but just in case you do, these are our opening hours over Christmas!

This evening at 21.04 we were mobilised to a fire in some woodland at the bottom of the bypass. Once in attendance we found a bonfire had been lit at the base of a tree and had started to spread to the tree. Thankfully a member of the public discovered the fire and we were able to extinguish it quickly.

Youths were seen in the area shortly before the fire started. This is the 2nd time this summer we have attended this location.

During this current warm and dry spell, fires can spread so quickly and cause devastating fires, if this could be your children please take time to educate them about the dangers of starting fires. DWFireRescue has been extremely busy dealing with challenging fires that often start from a small bonfire or bbq over the last few months.
