Last night, we had the honor of welcoming the Assistant Chief Fire Officer and the Area Manager to our station. They awarded crews from Plympton Fire Station, Plymstock Fire Station, and the on call team from Crownhill Fire Station with Commendations for their heroic rescue of multiple casualties during a large fire. Crews from Plympton in the photo that attended are, Crew Manager Alan P Wren, Crew Manager Dan Ferguson, Crew Manager Liam Lucassi, Firefighter Sid Siddalls, and Firefighter James Maidment. Additionally, whole-time crews from Red Watch at Camels Head Fire Station and Greenbank Fire Station and Crownhill Fire Station also attended the incident and will be receiving Commendations.

We’d like to wish Katie Simon all the very best in her new adventure as she leaves her role as a firefighter at Plympton Fire Station.

Katie has proudly served for 7 years, always going above and beyond, especially when it came to supporting community engagement activities. Her dedication, positivity, and commitment will be truly missed at the station.

Thank you for everything, Katie. We wish you every success in the next chapter! 👏

Age is another factor we look at when understanding fatal fire risks in the home 🧑‍🚒 🔥

As we grow older - particularly from around 65 and over - our needs can change, and for some people this may include finding it a little harder to move quickly or respond in an emergency.

This doesn’t mean a fire is more likely to happen, but it does highlight the importance of taking a few extra precautions to stay safe at home.

You can learn more about this risk, along with the other top three that we see during our investigations - smoking, mobility and emollient creams - in the link in the comments below 👇🏿

Smoking indoors is one of the four major risk factors we identify when investigating fatal fires. Falling asleep while smoking or leaving a lit cigarette unattended can increase the risk of flammable items catching alight 🚬

If you or someone you know smokes indoors, please be aware of the increased danger. Smoking outside is a simple step that can make a big difference.

We’ve launched our SAME4 campaign to raise awareness of the four key factors linked to fatal fires across Devon and Somerset: Smoking, Age (65+), Mobility, and Emollient creams (when combined with naked flames).

You can find out more about these risks via the link in the comments. Stay safe and please help to spread the word 🔥
