Ludgershall Fire Station

02/09/2026

On 27 July, our Ludgershall crew, with support from Amesbury Group 2 ,took part in an RTC (Road Traffic Collision) demonstration exercise for 2 Medical Regiment in Tidworth 2 Medical Regiment , as part of a drink-drive awareness and road safety campaign. Wiltshire Police Wiltshire Police also attended providing road safety advice.

The demonstration aimed to raise awareness of the dangers of drink driving and promote safer driving.
The session covered the whole RTC response, from arriving at the scene, assessing and caring for the casualty, vehicle extrication, and handing the casualty over to the ambulance crew.

Working together in a controlled environment, our crews demonstrated each stage of the process, with one of our Crew Managers talking through the incident and explaining the actions being taken throughout.
It was a great opportunity to work alongside our colleagues and partners, demonstrating the importance of teamwork, communication and road safety, while highlighting the potentially devastating consequences of drink driving. 🚒👮💂🏻‍♂️

On Saturday morning we were mobilised with crews from Westlea Fire Station and Swindon Fire Station along with a water carrier from Royal Wootton Bassett Fire Station and a light off road vehicle from Ludgershall Fire Station to a large stack of straw bales well alight.

On arrival we found that the fire had spread and was tearing through a nearby field and also threatening a row of trees near the bales. We quickly extinguished the fire in the field and then set about protecting the trees from further spread while addressing the burning bale stack itself.

Local farmers provided immediate assistance with their machinery, including cultivating fire breaks.

This came after a busy July for us where we received 39 mobilisations including Road Traffic Collisions, house fires, providing assistance to the Ambulance Service and a large number of outdoor fires.

We are currently recruiting. If you’d like the opportunity to serve your community in a varied role then please get in touch or visit https://www.dwfire.org.uk/working-for-us/on-call-firefighters/
