While we were at the Town hall today, someone called us over to say a bin was on fire outside.
We quickly put the fire out with a small amount of water.
We have been to several of these bins on fire recently.
They have a place on the top to put out a cigarette, and then there is supposed to be a small container under this area for the discarded cigarette.
We are finding there is no container to catch the ci******es so they are going into the main bin and catching the contents on fire.
Please make sure your ci******es are totally out before discarding, just in case the bin you are using is faulty.

It's been another busy week for the crew at Colyton, mainly due to the hot weather conditions.

On Tuesday while a large fire was developing in Exeter the crew spent their day covering various other areas and investigated multiple Carbon Monoxide alarms all sounding in Honiton. The crew found no readings on their gas detector.

Wednesday they started the day joining the Axminster team to release two elderly people from their over turned car.
Almost immediately after dealing with the car crash both crews were sent to Upottery to a large area of farmland on fire.
Later as they were heading to Honiton fire station to cover that area due to the local crew being elsewhere they were diverted to Hemyock to assist another crew dealing with a large area of grassland on fire, next to a new housing estate.
Here they smothered the fire using a compressed air foam system along with good old fashioned beaters.
The local people were a great help, who had already started putting buckets of water on the fire prior to the fire services arrival.
They also provided us with ice cold drinks, which were really appreciated. 🚒
The main message from us at this time is please do not have any kind of open fire outside at the moment.
