Workington Fire Station

We have just been called to a deliberate rubbish fire on the cycle path at Siddick. With everything so dry this had potential to spread quickly. Please be sensible and refrain from setting fires. Little fires can have a big impact. #nofires @CumbriaFire

Today @fire_workington, @FireWhitehaven and @MaryportFire have been at Vertellus in Workington carrying out a Hazmat exercise. Thanks to the site for the help and hosting the exercise. @CumbriaFire

“I PAY YOUR WAGES PAL” just seen it on TV, heard it a few times myself. Did a rough calculation… 0.1p per person, per emergency service employee @£35-40k salary even senior officers on double is only 0.2p “ENJOY YOUR 1/10p OF ME PAL 🤣🤣🤣🤡

Crews from all watches on station are getting a 3 day Swift Water Rescue refresher in Kendal. Yesterday saw the latest group to finish along with firefighters from @fire_workington Many thanks to from our colleagues in the training dept for great input and coaching. 🌊🛶🏊🏼‍♂️🪢🚒

The M6 northbound is currently closed near junction 36 as emergency services deal with a lorry fire. There are not believed to be any serious injuries following the incident. Motorists are asked to seek alternative routes if possible.

Merry Christmas from us all at Workington Fire Station. Stay safe🎅🎅🔥

Today @fire_workington we have hosted a Christmas Lunch for residents of Richmond Park care home. Thanks to @cranstons_1914 for donating the food. Thanks to all involved and hopefully we can do it again in the future

Day 2 Leading the convoy and we are making good progress. Great team of firefighters along for the ride, without them and the support of their FRS and the donations of fire trucks, firefighting equipment to Fire Aid this wouldn't be possible. @NFCC_FireChiefs @FIRE_AID_UK

Tonight Workington Green Watch welcomed members from Deaf Haven for a CPR session. Thank you to the interpreter for her assistance. A good evening was had by all and the session was well received #notjustfires

On behalf of Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service, our deepest condolences are sent to The Royal Family.

Today we have been out and about promoting water safety in our local area. We met plenty of people enjoying the lovely weather and cooling off in the sea and rivers. Please enjoy the weather but take care #BeWaterAware

Please take care in the water if you are cooling off.

With the hot spell of weather approaching crews have been at Barepot and Harrington Harbour passing over some water safety advice and discussing cold water shock. #BeWaterAware @CumbriaFire
