Last week we said goodbye to one of our crew, Dan, who has been at Misterton for a little over 21 years. He was presented with some gifts, and his 20 year service certificate, and it was a pleasure to welcome Dan and family to the station to reminisce, and of course enjoy some tea and cake, as is standard! Best of luck in the future Dan.
Talking of fond farewells, we have also recently exchanged pagers. Some members had become very attached to their old pagers 🫣 but the new and updated ones have been working very well for us, and going off regularly too 📟 They certainly get us out of bed quickly anyway! 😯 📢
Indeed that was the case early this morning, as we attended a vehicle fire in the local area, assisted by Gainsborough Fire Station - thankyou for the help!
This was just one of many jobs we've had recently, but hopefully with some rain things will be a bit calmer. All in a day's work for the Misterton crew!

On Monday night we were mobilised, initially to cover Retford Fire Station as they were called to a large local incident, however on route we were requested to attend the same job as it continued to escalate. Unfortunately on arrival we found a carpet shop well alight with the fire spreading to nearby buildings - a devastating loss for all concerned but thankfully nobody was hurt. However this meant a very long night for our crew of 4 as we assisted many of our Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service colleagues in tackling the fire.
A quieter few days did however follow, before an early morning wake up call to assist our East Midlands Ambulance Service colleagues on Sunday, with again thankfully nobody seriously injured. We will be back at it training tonight with our regular drill night 😁
Hope you all had a lovely bank holiday weekend - see you soon!

A worthwhile Saturday morning drill in the sunshine today!

We trained with chimney gear, pitched a ladder, did a BA drill including a partial set removal and checked some new equipment. That was after a 6am call out which thankfully turned out to be a false alarm 📟
What a beautiful day for it too, we hope you are all enjoying the lovely warm weather 👌

Smoke alarms save lives – it really is that simple.

In the UK, it is estimated that you are between 4 and 12 times more likely to die in a house fire without a working smoke alarm, compared to those properties equipped with working and correctly sited smoke alarms. Without a working alarm, you have no early warning, dramatically increasing risk. Fires can spread rapidly, often filling a home with smoke in minutes – especially at night when you’re asleep.

That’s why having working smoke alarms on every level of your home is essential.

✔️ Test your alarms once a month
✔️ If applicable, change the batteries regularly (or when you hear that warning beep)*
✔️ Never remove batteries without replacing them
✔️ Keep alarms dust-free and unobstructed
✔️ Plan and practise an escape route with your household

Remember: smoke alarms don’t prevent fires – they give you the time you need to escape.

It only takes a few minutes to check your alarms today, but it could save your life tomorrow.

If you don't have working smoke alarms, or would just like some safety advice and a home check, our Misterton crew would be happy to help. Follow the link to fill out a referral form!

*The smoke alarms fitted by us do not have a changeable battery and have a 10 year lifespan but they should be changed if they are beeping, and of course checked regularly - please get in touch if you have any concerns.

Stay safe. Protect your home🔥

March proved to be another busy month for the Misterton gang with our very successful charity car wash, some additional training courses and plenty of incidents too. We've supported colleagues from Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue, Gainsborough Fire Station and East Midlands Ambulance Service at some of these incidents and fitted smoke alarms in lots of properties across our local area, as well as offering valuable safety advice to their occupants.
At the beginning of the month we also visited our joint control room in Derbyshire - massive thanks to green watch for accommodating us. It was a very worth while visit, giving us a greater insight into the way calls are handled from the public and then how those calls are transferred to us with a pager alert 📟
As always if you have any questions about safety in your home, or would like your smoke alarms checking/fitting please do get in touch. Follow the link and fill in the form to get the ball rolling.
We hope you enjoy some of the warmer weather that is set to arrive soon, and stay safe!

Don't forget tomorrow is our Charity Car Wash day! We have some lovely raffle prizes on offer including some scrummy Easter baskets, and there will be lots of cakes and refreshments available too, so come on, drop your car off and enjoy a little treat while we do the hard work washing it 😁
Dirty car but short of time? Not a problem, cake isn't compulsory and you can stay in your car while we wash it for a small donation and you can be on your way.
Drive a bus? Also not a problem! We will wash your bus; or van, fire engine, motorhome, horsebox, tractor and pretty much anything with wheels 😄 We are up for the challenge! 💪
Hope to see you there - 12-3pm at Misterton Fire Station, all in aid of Fire Fighters Charity

This week's drill was a little different as we headed to Retford Fire Station to use their purpose built fire house for a realistic BA drill, working alongside another crew that we wouldn't usually get a chance to train with.
We had 3 teams in Breathing Apparatus in the heavily smoke logged building, using all their training and skills to search for and rescue 'casualties'. Working in an unfamiliar environment with very limited visibility offers a much more realistic scenario than we are able to replicate at our own station.
A lot of hard graft was put in by all and it proved a very useful and beneficial nights training 👍

Think this sounds like a challenging and exciting way to spend a Tuesday evening? You'd be right! And if you think you'd like a piece of the action, why not join us? This time next year this could be you!

If you're interested drop us a message or follow the link to apply. We are happy to answer ANY questions and help in any way we can
