Our Incident Command Unit and crew have been assisting crews overnight at the scene of a fire in a glass making factory in Harlow 🔥

Assistant Chief Fire Officer James Taylor said: "Our firefighters are working really hard in incredibly difficult conditions to cool molten glass, which has leaked from a furnace.
We need to continually change crews because the heat is so intense, which is why so many appliances are at the scene. We hope to scale this back over the next few hours.
We are working with the site owners to bring the incident to a conclusion as soon as we can”

We are recruiting OnCall Firefighters at Witham!

Yesterday evening we were mobilised to an incident at Mortimer Way. Parking on the estate made it difficult for us to get to the incident and also leave.

Whilst we understand frustrations around not enough parking, we are asking residents to be please be considerate when they park.

Please leave a gap of at least 3 metres and be considerate if parking near junctions so that we can get through. 🚘🚒🚘

Our crews can get delayed attending an incident due to cars blocking the fire engine's route and in an emergency, every minute counts! Changing where you park can make all the difference to our response time.

Thank you for helping us reach those who need us, when they need us 🚒
