Allendale Community Fire Station and Crew

29/07/2026

🚒 Please park responsibly 🚒

When parking, please think before you leave your vehicle. Narrow streets and blocked access routes can prevent emergency vehicles from reaching people who need help.

A few extra moments to park considerately could make a vital difference in an emergency.

✅ Leave enough space for fire engines and other emergency vehicles to pass
✅ Avoid parking on corners, junctions and narrow roads
✅ Keep access routes clear at all times

Help us keep Northumberland safe by making sure emergency services can get where they're needed, when every second counts.

❄️ Stay off the ice, it could save your life ❄️

This photo shows the River Wansbeck in Morpeth, frozen during the current cold period. While it may look calm and solid, ice on rivers is extremely unpredictable and never safe.

Frozen rivers, ponds and lakes can give way without warning, putting lives at risk. Tragically, people have lost their lives in recent years after falling through ice.

🚫 Stay off frozen water
👶 Talk to children about the dangers
🐕 Keep dogs on leads and don’t throw toys onto the ice

If someone falls through the ice, do not attempt a rescue on the ice - call 999 immediately.
