Teignmouth Fire Station

After 10 years of dedicated service, we say a fond farewell to Josh as he moves on to his next chapter.

Josh has been a committed and dependable member of Teignmouth Fire Station, serving not only the community he lives in but the wider area with pride. Over the years he has attended countless incidents and community events, always bringing professionalism, reliability, and a strong team spirit.

At his final training night, we were pleased to be joined by his fiancé and parents as we thanked Josh for his service and presented him with a few gifts to mark the occasion.

Josh, thank you for everything you’ve given to the station and the community over the past decade. You’ve been a solid member of the team and will be greatly missed.

We wish you all the very best for the future and remember, you’ll always be welcome back anytime.

Our colleague Jonathan is taking on the TCS London Marathon today – his very first one! 🏃‍♂️

He’s just about to set off in his wave, with nerves understandably running high, but he’s ready for the challenge ahead.

He is running to raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity and is incredibly close to his target, currently at £2,270 of £2,500 💪

We’d really appreciate it if you could take a moment to support him, either by donating or leaving a message of encouragement as he embarks on this huge challenge today.

Every bit of support makes a difference 👇

Good luck Jonathan – we’re all behind you!

Following the recent fire at Teignmouth Library, we want to provide some context and be open with our community.

Unfortunately, on this occasion Teignmouth Fire Station was unable to respond due to a shortage of available crew. While we always strive to provide a 24/7 response, this isn’t always possible. At times crews may already be committed to another incident or we may not have enough firefighters immediately available to mobilise safely.

To attend an incident, we require a minimum crew of four firefighters. This includes a qualified driver and another trained in incident command, along with two trained in breathing apparatus. When this incident was reported, we were one firefighter short of that minimum requirement.

On-call firefighters are the backbone of the Fire & Rescue Service, not just here in Teignmouth but across the UK and much of Europe. These are highly trained, dedicated individuals who balance their roles alongside their primary jobs and personal commitments to protect their communities.

We are actively recruiting and have new applicants currently progressing through the process, but we still need more people to come forward. If you live or work within the Teignmouth area, can provide day & weekend cover and are interested in making a real difference, please consider joining us.

Your support and understanding mean a great deal to us.

Storm Chandra is here and brings with it an amber weather warning for the South West for heavy rain and flooding overnight.

Stay safe, don’t make unnecessary trips in bad weather conditions. You could harm yourself and others too.

Remember, vehicles can become stuck and even swept away in just 30cm of flowing water.
