Alford Community Fire Station

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 🔥

It's been a busy weekend for the Fire Service. The Alford appliance (R51P6) was called out at 0230 hrs on Sunday morning (29/6/2025) to assist with the large Wildfire at Dava near to Grantown-on-Spey. The crew were back in Alford by 1100 hrs. Although it's not unusual to be mobilised to assist other stations, this is the furthest we've travelled recently.

Our Neee Nawww, meets their Choo Choo 🚆 🚒 ❤️

TUMBLE DRYER SAFETY TIP: Clean the lint trap after every use – the build up of lint or fluff can cause fires. Don’t leave your tumble dryer on when you are out or asleep.
