Kingsbridge Fire Station

Thank you Kingsbridge Coastguard Rescue Team for inviting us to your station for this invaluable opportunity.

It is really important that we all have a shared understanding of each others capabilities and how we can help each other at incidents within our community.

Hi All
This is a request which hopefully will help everyone stay safe. Please can you all dispose of your batteries in a safe and considerate way. Be it Nicad batteries,lithium ion batteries or any other type of rechargeable batteries and of course any other type. These batteries can start fires in waste trucks when the compactor crushes the rubbish and also are a problem at the rubbish tips as well.
It’s a serious concern now and we are asking for your help in disposing of them properly, Thank you in advance
For your help in this matter…..
STAY SAFE

Hi All
Here at Kingsbridge we are looking for some new recruits who would like to be part of a great team and want to help people in the community that are in need of a professional team to help them in their hour of need.

If you’re over 18 and are fit and want to find out more come down to the station on a Monday night 18:30-21:00 hours and have a chat.

I’m looking forward to meeting you.

Ask for Dave

The recent damage to the A379 at Torcross means we have less access options in the area and for Slapton Village in particular.

This afternoon we took our fire engine and crew van from Kingsbridge on a little road trip to familiarise ourselves with the best ways to get to and around your village.

Unfortunately, although we all know your village doesn’t have the widest roads, some parking is not going to help with emergency services reaching you.

⚠️🥶 ICE EVERYWHERE THIS MORNING! 🥶⚠️

It rained after the gritters were out last night around town and it’s extremely icy everywhere this morning.

If you can wait a while for the sun to thaw it out if you can.

Always fully defrost your windscreen and windows fully before starting a journey.

We hope that everyone is coping as best as they can with the ongoing Gas Supply issues in Kingsbridge, Malborough & Salcombe.

Wales & West Utilities latest update has the below request to landlords, letting agents and key holders below:

“
We still have a high number of properties in Salcombe where we have not been able to gain access. This means we have engineers still working to gain access to them in order to switch the gas valve off.

We would ask that any landlords, letting agents or designated key holders for properties in Salcombe and are aware the property is empty get in contact with us immediately to discuss ways for us to gain access. This can be done by approaching one of the many engineers we have working in the area directly or by calling us on 0800 912 2999.

If anyone does smell gas in the area, then please contact the National Gas Emergency number on 0800 111 999.
“

Although that request mentions Salcombe specifically, there are still properties in Malborough and Kingsbridge needing to be accessed too.

Visit the Wales & West Utilities website for updates as they come:

Our teams have visited over 90% of the 4,600 affected properties today, with over 100 engineers working across the area.
