The Mounts Fire Station

30/06/2026

Today, members of the joint Arson Task Force along with Firefighters from the Northampton Mounts Fire Station were out and about supporting Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week, meeting members of the public in both Northampton Market Square and at the Racecourse.

Anti-social behaviour can have a significant impact on our communities, and many of the issues we deal with as part of the Joint Arson Task Force are closely linked. Deliberate fires, fire-setting, criminal damage, vandalism and misuse of fire can put lives at risk, cause distress to residents and businesses, and place unnecessary demands on emergency services.

Our work focuses on preventing these incidents through education, intervention and partnership working. By engaging with communities and raising awareness, we aim to reduce fire-related anti-social behaviour and keep Northamptonshire safer for everyone.

If you see us at any community events, please come and speak to the team to find out more about the work of the Arson Task Force, learn how to report concerns, and discover how we can all play a part in creating safer, stronger communities.

Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service has unfortunately made the decision to postpone tomorrow’s Firefighter Challenge event at the University of Northampton.

Over recent days, temperatures have steadily risen and with an amber weather warning now in place across Northamptonshire, conditions are expected to place additional strain on both participants and spectators.

After carefully reviewing guidance from the Met Office, UKHSA, and England Athletics, we feel like this is the correct decision to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Our priority must always be people’s health, safety, and wellbeing. We know how much this event means to so many, from the dedicated Firefighter Challenge teams who have worked tirelessly to make the event possible, to our valued competitors, our hosts at The University of Northampton, sponsors and the supporters who were looking forward to cheering them on.

We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who has worked so hard to make this event possible and we will work with our Firefighter Challenge Team to try and find a new date for the event to take place.

With the warmer summer weather, water may look inviting, but the temperature of the water can be low enough to cause 'Cold Water Shock'.
Parents - make sure your children are aware of the dangers about jumping in, things can quickly go wrong, even for strong swimmers:

- Cold water shock
- Hidden hazards under the surface
- Strong currents and unseen forces
- Shallow or changing depths
- Impact injuries from height (tombstoning)

Make sure they know what to do if someone gets into trouble in the water:
❌ Don’t jump in
✅ Call 999
✅ Use something to help from the side (ball, stick, life ring)

Remember: Float to Live if you fall in unexpectedly.

Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service is asking people to follow advice and have fun safely during the Halloween and Bonfire Night period.

We would always recommend only attending organised firework and bonfire displays but urge members of the public that are planning on holding their own display to do so safely to avoid causing fires and injuries.

Darren Carson, Prevention Team Leader at Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “While the number of fires we attend during this period is reducing year by year, we still want to urge people to follow safety advice to keep themselves, their families and their homes safe.

“It is a fun time of year and we want people to enjoy fireworks and bonfires, but we really encourage members of the public to only go to an official display and avoid having them in back gardens.

“If you do have your own display or bonfire and it gets out of control, or you see any unattended fires, please always call 999 and ask for the Fire Service.”
