It's been a particularly busy month, with 49 fire incidents attended in July, taking our total for the year til the end of July to 233.

With eight fire calls already in August and current trends, we are likely to see around 400 incidents this year.

With the area now officially in drought conditions, we ask everyone to be extra vigilant when enjoying the outdoors. Where possible, please opt for a picnic 🧺 rather than a BBQ to help reduce the risk of grass and heath fires.

When another Fire and Rescue Service declares a major incident, our greatest strength is standing together. We support our brothers and sisters, help the communities they serve, and unite as one fire and rescue family. In times of greatest need, we stand ready to support one another and serve wherever we are needed.

Frome Fire Station is proud to be representing Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service as we deploy an emergency response to Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service to assist with the significant wildfires they are currently facing. This support includes both operational personnel and a welfare officer, ensuring that those working on the front line have the assistance they need.





UPDATE - after leaving Frome at 07:00 Friday (31st July) morning the crew have now returned home station (Monday 3rd August) at approx 15:30, good progress was made and left in the capable hands of others to continue the good work.

We are currently dealing with a large fire affecting two fields of standing crops on the outskirts of Trowbridge, an area of approx 100m x 150m.

Crews are in attendance from Trowbridge, Bradford on Avon Fire Station, Gillingham Fire Station, Frome Fire Station (Devon & Somerset FRS), Devizes Fire Station and Chippenham Fire Station, supported by small 4x4 appliances from Hungerford (Royal Berkshire FRS) and Blandford Fire Station, and a water carrier from Andover (Hampshire & Isle of Wight FRS).

There is a lot of smoke in the area, so local residents should close doors and windows if affected and concerned.

We have also had crews from Westbury Fire Station and Blagdon (Avon FRS) dealing with a shed fire off Bradford Road, Trowbridge. This is now extinguished.

5.45pm update: The fire has now been contained and extinguished, with firefighters continuing to damp down the affected area with hose reel jets. We expect to scale back our attendance very soon.

Incident - Derelict Property Fire
1st July 2026 15:01
Saxonvale, Frome

Fire Control mobilised two appliances from Frome and Trowbridge to reports of a derelict property on fire in Saxonvale.

When crews arrived on scene they quickly discovered a fire in the Western Warehouse on the Saxonvale site and quickly requested 8 appliances and an aerial ladder platform (ALP).

Nearby premises were evacuated and crews got to work with main jets, limiting the amount of fire spread until sufficient resources arrived with adequate water to put in a meaningful attack.

Good progress was made with two aerial ladder platforms, two water carriers, high volume pump, multiple appliances from Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, DWFireRescue and Avon Fire & Rescue Service, and command support unit with over 100 fire personnel on scene to help bring the incident under control.

Shout out to Devon and Somerset Fire Control who handled the call and supported us with mobilising such a big response while trying to maintain fire cover across Somerset.
