@essexforester @mawwfire Hi Rob, no problem at all 👍

@AbercraveFire @mawwfire Great example of ladder fuels with horizontal and vertical alignment. Would it be okay to use your photos for training and presentation purposes?

The crew from Abercrave have spent the last three days fighting this forestry fire in our local area. It’s safe to say the crew will be glad to see some rain in the coming days 🔥🚒@mawwfire

Great to see Abercrave Fire Cadets enjoying the lighter evenings and putting their theory into practice @AbercraveFire @mawwfire @UKFireCadets

A great afternoon helping dosbarth 3 from Ysgol Y Cribarth with their experiments. We hope all the kids enjoyed as much as the Firefighers did. @mawwfire

As we are appproaching Armistice Day, Abercrave Fire Cadets paid their respects by creating a poppy out of hose reels and other equipment. #LestWeForget #RemembranceDay @mawwfire @UKFireCadets @AbercraveFire

@trevorbarnwell Thank you, they’ve been well looked after by the crew. 👍

@AbercraveFire Both still look good👍

Tomorrow we say goodbye to both of our appliances as they’re to be replaced with a Volvo pump and a Ford Ranger. Both appliances have been here at Abercrave for many years and have been a familiar sight in our local area. Rosie (Rosenbauer) and Glenda (Defender) will be missed!

After his final drill night, WM Brian Evans retires after a very impressive 45 years of service. Brian and the crew would like to thank everyone who turned up this evening to show their gratitude for his dedication. Thank you Brian and enjoy your retirement.

Thanks to Brian and his crew @AbercraveFire for the warm welcome tonight. Discussed a wide range of issues including PPE, Fleet Rotation, New Ford Ranger, OC Pay and whether Wales will win tomorrow night !! Diolch yn fawr i chi gyd am y croeso cynnes !

As a station, we would like to take a moment to acknowledge WM Brian Evans. This month marks his 45 years of service to Abercrave station and surrounding areas! This is a great achievement and shows just how dedicated he is to the roll and to the service.👏🚒 @mawwfire
