🚚 We've been out making memories with the East Coast Truckers Charity Convoy again this year ☺️

Thanks to everyone who came and lined the streets to cheer us all on yesterday as we made our way from Norwich to Pleasurewood Hills, giving disadvantaged and disabled children a day out to remember.

This spectacular event wouldn't be possible without the volunteers, including the incredible organisers and drivers - and you, the people of Norfolk who support it. Our firefighters, who take part in their free time, had the best day.

If you are able to make a donation to keep these trucks rolling next year, we've popped a link in the comments below.

Last weekend was so good, we’re going to leave you with a reminder of it as we head into this one…!

Nearly a week on, we’re still buzzing about last Saturday’s Frontline Festival, where hundreds of you turned out to The Walks to enjoy music, entertainment, fun…and sunshine! ☀️

The blue-light services and first responders who serve our county came together and showcased a range of live demos, including a road traffic collision scenario from our fire cadets, a prison dog display, and a police cadet demonstration showing how to manage an unruly crowd.

Thank you to everyone who came out in their numbers, to all our fellow emergency services, partners and all those who had a stall or were involved in the entertainment on the day, and a special thanks to NFRS staff Shaun Futter, Roy Tait, and in particular Rebecca Taylor, who put in an incredible amount of work to put something on for the community of King’s Lynn and the whole of west Norfolk. We’re already excited about next year 😄

Wherever you’re headed this Bank Holiday weekend, stay safe and enjoy! 🫡

🌊🚒 King's Lynn crews recently joined Watersafe UK Search and Rescue Team and Hunstanton Fire Cadets for a water rescue exercise at Bawsey Estate & Country Park .

The realistic training scenario involved multiple people entering the water, giving crews the opportunity to practise rescue techniques, search procedures and use specialist equipment.

While exercises like this help keep our skills sharp, they also reinforce an important message: open water can be much more dangerous than it looks. Hidden hazards beneath the surface can pose a serious risk, so always think twice before entering unknown water.

📞If you ever see someone in trouble in the water, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard at the coast or Broads, and for the Fire Service for any other inland water spots.

🐶 Continuing our pawsome pal takeover... meet Frankie!

Frankie is the newest member of our OK9 team, a group of dogs who support staff following challenging or traumatic incidents and help encourage peer support conversations.

At just one year old, this lovable Staffordshire Bull Terrier has already made quite an impression!

With a heart as big as her paws, Frankie is full of enthusiasm, affection, and just a little bit of clumsiness. Her excitement is matched only by her determination to answer a recall command... although the occasional enthusiastic collision may occur!

Frankie is cared for and handled by Elly, who is quickly becoming an expert in both canine leadership and evasive manoeuvres.

🐾 We'd love to meet your four-legged friends too. Share your photos in the comments below!

🐾 Happy International Dog Day!

🐶Meet the first stars of today's doggy takeover: our Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) dogs, Axel and Ziggy!

You may already know Axel, who helps locate missing people and casualties during incidents such as building collapses and major transport accidents. Meanwhile, Ziggy is busy learning the ropes and will one day take over from his great-uncle when his training is complete.

We're celebrating all things canine today, so keep your eyes peeled for more four-legged content coming your way!

25/08/2026

Crews from King's Lynn will be joined by Fire Cadets from Hunstanton for a water safety training exercise at Bawsey Estate & Country Park from 7pm to 9pm this evening (Tuesday 25th August).

Please do not be alarmed if you see emergency vehicles in the area or firefighters out on the water.

Crews will also be talking to members of the public about staying safe in the water, as we approach the end of the school summer holidays.

This includes:
⭐ Float to Live - if you get into difficulty in the water, lie with you arms and legs out in a star shape, with your ears submerged while you regain your breath. Then you can wave and call for help.

🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️ Go swimming in a group - and always let someone know where you are going and what time you expect to be back.

🌡️ Enter the water slowly - even on a hot day, the water can be colder than you think and even the most experienced swimmers can suffer from cold water shock. Let your body acclimatise to the temperature of the water.

📱 Call 999 - if you do see someone in trouble in the water call 999 immediately.

🎨Our fire station in Great Yarmouth has had a makeover with a mural thanks to a community project.

The Reprezent Project artwork inside Great Yarmouth Fire Station was supported by Norwich-based artist Demograffix, who worked with seven young people to help them build confidence and teamwork skills while learning more about careers in the creative industries and also working in emergency services.

The mural captures the past and present of firefighting, using 3D street art to bring old and new fire engines serving Great Yarmouth to life.

Great Yarmouth Station Manager Thaine Hacon said: “We are always delighted to work with local community groups and this bright new project will directly benefit our frontline teams. The mural has brightened up the mess room for our firefighters.

“Working with Reprezent has also enabled us to share safety information and engage with the artists about the work of fire and rescue, building valuable links with our local community.”
