Training 🚨

Training was a house fire scenario, crews acted like it was a real call driving from round the corner to simulate a house fire with casualties trapped! This helped crews train wearing breathing apparatus in Smokey conditions with zero visibility.

If you’re interested in joining us on call have a look at our website! 🚒

Today’s Training 🚨

We simulated a chemical spill with people reported inside.

Crews made a decontamination zone and wearing breathing apparatus they go into the building to rescue the casualties, also when they come across the chemical they contain it to stop further spread.

Please be our eyes and ears. Two of our stations have been broken into this week, so we're asking you, our local residents, to help us look out for any suspicious activity around our station.

Chatteris and Gamlingay fire stations were broken into in the early hours of Monday morning and Tuesday evening respectively. At Chatteris, life-saving cutting equipment used at road traffic collisions and other rescues was stolen.

Chief Fire Officer Matthew Warren said: “Break-ins to fire stations are happening across the country and this week we have been victims twice. We are asking for local residents to please help be our eyes and ears, to report any suspicious activity and make a note if possible of any vehicle details including registration number, as well as descriptions of any individuals involved.

"Please also save any CCTV or Ring doorbell footage if it has captured any suspicious activity. The incidents have happened when it’s dark, in the evening and early morning. Entry has been forced, so if you hear a noise coming from one of our stations, please do just look and check to see if it is our firefighters, don’t assume it is. This support by our local communities would be greatly appreciated.”

Anyone with information is asked to visit the Cambridgeshire Constabulary website or call 101 and quote the reference 35/21532/26.
