Sandy Fire Station

21/04/2026

Scott Elliott was a firefighter at Sandy for 20 years and left Sandy Fire Station a couple of years ago to focus on his career with London Fire Brigade.
Scott is running this years London Marathon. We wish him well (as he is on the old side and his knees aren't what they used to be), but if anyone would like to donate to his fundraising page, the link is below and it would be great if we can assist him in getting to his total! Good luck Scott!!

Mid last year I applied for the London marathon, solely so I could moan about not getting in…. Well I got in! I don’t want any sympathy however I do need your support!!!

Over the last few months the crew from Sandy Fire Station have been in collaboration with their blue light partners from the East of England Ambulance Service Trust. The crew have now completed their intense training and are now attending medical incidents in Sandy and the local community as part of an Emergency Medical Response/Co Responding Team.

This new collaborative working went live on the 7th November 2025 and in its infancy has had a great success story in its first week after coming across a motorcycle accident on their way back from another incident , being the first on scene, requesting the attendance of other blue light partners whilst dealing with the motorcyclist who suffered concussion and some minor injuries and now recovering well at home. All the training that the crew has taken on board certainly assisted them.

This successful scheme has now been rolled out from four fire stations across Bedfordshire and has shown to be a huge benefit to the communities that we serve. An amazing collaboration amongst the blue light family 🚒🚑.

Our thanks also to Drone Photos Sandy for some excellent images which we will share some more video over the coming days and to our colleagues, our cadets, Airfield Volunteer Fire Service Charity, and other friends and supporters who assisted throughout the day.
