The incident involved a barn which contained 2000 bales of hay and a derelict outbuilding.

A big thank you to the other members of the team who were crewing our 2nd appliance & providing operational cover locally.

🚒 It's okay to ask for support after an incident.

Not everyone affected by an emergency is directly involved.

Sometimes simply witnessing an incident, being nearby, or helping at the scene can have an emotional impact. While those feelings may fade, it's also completely normal for them to appear hours, days or even weeks later.

As firefighters, we receive support following particularly difficult incidents because we know the effects of trauma aren't always immediate. We want our communities to know that support is available for you too.

If you've been affected by an incident and would like to know where to find help, Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service has put together information on organisations that offer free, confidential advice and support.

Please remember—you don't have to cope alone.
