Every piece of equipment we carry has a purpose, from dealing with fires and road traffic collisions to rescues and medical emergencies.

Regular equipment checks help make sure everything is:

🔴in the correct place
🔴working properly
🔴safe to use
🔴ready immediately when we’re called to an incident

When an emergency happens, there isn’t time to discover that a piece of equipment is missing or not working as it should.

These checks are a routine but important part of keeping the appliance ready and making sure crews can respond safely and effectively when the public needs us.

Here’s one of our Blue Watch crew members at Nuneaton carrying out routine equipment checks on the fire engine.

🐾Dog rescue success for Red watch Nuneaton

Crews were called after a Labrador had fallen approximately 6 feet into a water filled ditch and was unable to climb back out. On arrival, firefighters assessed the situation and deployed water rescue equipment along with a triple extension ladder to gain safe access to the trapped dog. 

Working carefully and calmly, firefighters reached the Labrador, secured him safely, and successfully rescued him from the ditch before reuniting him with his relieved owners. 

A fantastic effort by the crew, demonstrating how the skills and equipment used to protect our communities can also make a real difference when our four legged friends find themselves in difficulty.

✅ ALWAYS turn your cooker off at the mains when not in use to prevent accidentally turning it on.
