Just after 7:30am we were mobilised to a refuse lorry on fire in Beaulieu along with @Hardley58 . Quick actions by the refuse workers prevented a larger scale incident! Ensure you know how to safely and correctly dispose of batteries and electrical items. bit.ly/BatteryBinFires

From our crew to yours, wishing everyone a very Happy New Year! #2024, bring it on!

Had a surprise visit to our Drill Night tonight as Santa came to visit onboard the Waterside Christmas Fire Engine BA drills halted as the Dennis Fire Engine pulled up alongside 58P7 for a few photos and jingling Christmas tunes.

2 x FIRE CALLS so far today attended alongside @Beaulieu_49. Fire Domestics, in Beaulieu & another in Hythe, caused by unattended cooking. Fire caught early, only requiring PPV and post-incident Safe & Wells. Now returned home station & ready for wherever we're needed next.

Today we attended Manor COE Infant School for their Christmas fete. Great to see enthusiastic young faces (and some older ones too) as tours were given of 58P7. Thank you to the school for inviting us. Look forward to the batch of Firefighter applicants in 12 years time 👍👍

@Fireflash44 @Hythe44 @Redbridge53 @SCAS999 @HantsPolice Hi there. It's the original RSV based at Redbridge Fire Station, sporting the new HIWFRS livery.

#BELLSDOWN today to an RTC trapped in #Dibden, alongside crews from @Hythe44 & @Redbridge53. Road closed & rapid extrication completed on 1 casualty, quickly handing them over to @SCAS999 for treatment. Scene handed over to @HantsPolice for investigation and recovery actions.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family of this young man at this difficult time.

@godd4rd Hi Matt. Sorry for the delay in replying. It was an interesting time, contingency plans were put in place incase we had a serious incident. Fortunately, no house fires or serious events that required more than the water we held on the appliance.

@Hardley58 how are you guys coping without water?

#BellsDown 02:40 as our Firefighters aboard 58P7, alongside 44P1 from @Hythe44, were mobilised to a local school after fire alarm triggered. Incident (fortunately) turned out to be a false alarm caused by a system malfunction. System reset & appliances returned to Home Station.

#BellsDown 06:32 as "Reserve 5" mobilised to fire at #Calshot Beach. Fire extinguished with buckets, NapSacks & drag forks. Please be considerate when enjoying Calshot & keep the naked flames away. It's a beautiful part of the Waterside and enjoyed best whilst NOT on fire 🔥🚫

After two days of fire calls, our appliance 58P7 needs more tlc at workshops. While away, we host "Reserve 5" to fill P7's boots & provide fire reponse to the Waterside. For the spotters amongst us, Reserve 5 was formerly stationed at @Fordingbridge47 before becoming a Reserve

#BellsDown 07:50 as 58P7 & 58M1 mobilised to a fire in #Calshot. Fire involving flood defences started either by careless disposal of embers, or maliciously. Extinguished using Hose Reel Jet & buckets of water. Please remember - No fires, BBQs etc allowed on Calshot Beach.
