We are working closely with the police and the local community to reduce these incidents. Please stay vigilant and report any fire setting.

For emergencies or active fires, please call 999.

For information with regards to past fire setting / arson please call 101.

Your help is very much appreciated 👏

Many thanks from all of us at Wigston Fire station. 🔥

Officers said those found responsible for starting fires would be dealt with "robustly".

Extra police patrols will be brought in after a rise in fires started by young people in a park in South Wigston.

We had a fantastic day working alongside Canal & River Trust on Sunday. The crew carried out water rescue demonstrations and delivered some basic water rescue training to members of the public.
Thank you all for coming along and getting involved, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. ☺️

No sooner had we returned from helping our colleagues at Suffolk Fire & Rescue Service tackle the devastating blaze in Dunwich Heath (pictured), we were on our travels again... 🚒

Over the weekend, crews from Melton Mowbray, Castle Donington, Wigston and Uppingham supported colleagues at major incidents in both Nottinghamshire and Cambridgeshire.

This cross‑border assistance is vital in ensuring communities receive a safe and effective emergency response during a period of significant demand. It's times like these that the commitment and professionalism of all our Firefighters stands out, not only from those attending, but all who step up at home - including our On-Call teams who make themselves available at short notice.

We continue to have a robust and effective operational capability in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland but, in moments of need, our nation's Fire Services respond and assist where they can, knowing full well that sooner or later, they'll be the ones who need help.
