During this heatwave we are urging people not to be having bonfires or barbecues in open spaces. We have attended a number of calls during this heatwave which we think a little common sense would go a long way. Enjoy the sunshine, but also think about the dangers.

⚠️We are currently dealing with a house fire on Durban Road, Wisborough Green.​ Local residents should keep windows and doors closed. Please avoid the area to allow crews to work safely. ⚠️

On #volunteersweek we say a huge thank you to our councillors who are all volunteers plus representatives of our Sports Clubs, @BEATresponders @station49fire @sussexsar and every other volunteer & organisation looking after the parish and community of #Billingshurst

Our thoughts are with all of our colleagues at Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue Service today together with all of the people impacted by this incident.

Last year, there were more than 1,000 accidental electrical fires involving everyday household white goods like tumble dryers and washing machines across England – that’s the equivalent of three fires every single day. orlo.uk/tqKuC #EFSW25

This week we're raising awareness of the 'Fatal Five' for #RoadSafetyWeek. Did you know? You are four times more likely to crash if you use a mobile phone whilst driving.

We are very much looking forward to being part of this
