As some of you may already be aware, Alford Community Fire Station is now a Level 2 Wildfire station, which means the crews have received additional training in Wildfire tactics and specialist equipment which is carried on our new Wildfire 4x4 vehicle. We also work closely with our partner station, Insch Community Fire Station, who have received the same training, and dual crew the specialist vehicle when required. As a result of this we were mobilised early on in the incident at the Cairngorms National Park, and have had a daily presence there since. We have worked with SFRS crews from across the North of Scotland, along with colleagues from stations further afield. We have also been working alongside numerous volunteers with their own equipment, such as 4x4 vehicles, off road vehicles (Argocat), tractors, tankers, and the 45+ bulldozers, diggers, estate workers and RSPB volunteers.
It has and continues to be a challenging incident. We would like to send out our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has provided us with food, shelter and kindness over the last two weeks, in particular Nethy Bridge - Community, Glenmore Lodge, and Goodbrand and Ross. You have all ensured that we have been fed and watered, ready to tackle the ongoing incident.
Here's a few photos from the last two weeks, showing the scale of the incident. It covers approximately 25 square kilometres (6,200 acres) - this is the equivalent of 3,500 football pitches (according to AI!) Videos will follow.....

We had a great day today at the Fire Station - S'Mores from the Scouts, a bouncy castle, the fire engine as always was a hit with the kids (and the adults!), and Heather and Harris came along to say hello 👋
We also did a little bit of fundraising for The Fire Fighters Charity - a winner for the Firefighter cuddly toy was picked at random. Well done to Jess Irwin, who had the name "Blossom" 👏
A huge well done to Alford Christmas Festival for all the organising, and to everyone who took part and made this a very special day in the village! Merry Christmas, from Alford Community Fire Station 🎅 🚒

We cannot wait 🔥
