Bamber Bridge Fire Station

20/10/2026

🚒 Congratulations, FF Felton! 👏

A huge well done to FF Felton on successfully completing his competency assessment!

Kieran is a great example of the commitment shown by our on-call firefighters, who balance work, family and their own responsibilities while being ready to respond when their community needs them.

FF Felton does just that, managing his role as an on-call firefighter alongside running his own business and making time for family life. Juggling these commitments takes real organisation, understanding and support from those around you, as well as a willingness to give up your own time when the pager sounds. 📟

👏 Congratulations again, FF Felton, on reaching this milestone. Thank you for your continued dedication, hard work and commitment to the team and the community you serve!

August 2026 concluded with 42 call-outs for the on-call firefighters at Bamber Bridge Fire Station.

In addition to responding to incidents, our crew members have been developing their skills in preparation for upcoming assessments.

As part of this, the team visited Preston Fire Station to use their training facilities and take part in a breathing apparatus exercise.

Drills like these allow us to practise, build confidence, and prepare for the real incidents we may have to respond to.

What matters most to you when it comes to keeping your community safe?

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service does much more than respond to fires. We help prevent emergencies, protect people and businesses, and prepare for a wide range of risks across Lancashire.

Our Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP) sets out how we’ll help keep Lancashire safer over the next five years.

Earlier this year, we asked what matters most to our communities, and your feedback helped shape our draft plan.

Now, we want to hear what you think about the risks we’ve identified and how we plan to prevent and respond to them.

Have your say: www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/LFRScrmp2

The survey takes around 5 minutes to complete and closes at 5pm on Friday 9 October 2026.
