🧑‍🚒 NEW RECRUIT 🧑‍🚒

Please join us in giving an absolute mountain of applause to Firefighter Laura Sant, who has officially passed her intensive Approved to Ride (ATR) course! 🚒💨

Joining Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service as a trainee was step one, but getting to this point demands an entirely new level of grit, sweat, and determination. Over the last few weeks of rigorous assessments, Laura has thrown herself into mastering the core foundations of operational firefighting, along with months of prior learning and training at Callington Callington Community Fire Station.
Laura has successfully smashed through every phase of the ATR curriculum, including:
Pumps & Water Management: Perfecting hose running, knot tying, and hauling equipment aloft, as well as mastering how to pump from pressure-fed supplies and open water.
Ladders & Working at Height: Executing flawless commands under immense physical pressure.
Road Traffic Collisions (RTC): Gaining the vital operational skills required to respond safely and efficiently to complex roadside rescues.
What does this mean for Laura?
She is officially no longer just a trainee—she has officially stepped up to become a Development Firefighter!
The very next time the pagers go off and the station doors roll open, Laura won't be watching from the sidelines. She will be fully geared up, sitting in the back of the appliance, and heading out on the run alongside her crew to serve and protect our local community.
It takes an incredible amount of personal sacrifice, late nights, and physical endurance to wear the pager. Laura, your commitment to the safety of Cornwall is inspiring, and we are incredibly proud to have you on our team.

Enjoy your well-deserved achievement, stay safe out there, and welcome to the crew! 🙌🔥

Let’s fill the comments sections with some massive Cornwall love for Laura! 👇

🔥 PROUD MOMENT FOR CALLINGTON FIRE STATION! 🔥

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Dan (FF Chowings) has officially passed his 3-year probation period and is now a fully qualified, fully-fledged on-call firefighter! 🚒👏The journey to becoming an operational firefighter is grueling, but doing it as an on-call firefighter takes a truly unique level of dedication.

For the last 36 months, Dan has selflessly balanced his main career, family commitments, and personal life to drop everything at a moment's notice whenever his alerter goes off. From the intense initial training courses and late-night drill nights to tackling challenging emergency shouts in all kinds of weather, Dan has proven his grit, skills, and unwavering teamwork. He has worked tirelessly to meet the incredibly high standards required to protect the Callington community and the wider Cornwall area.

Dan, you have earned your place in this crew tenfold. The whole team at Callington Fire Station and across Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service is immensely proud of the professional you’ve become. Thank you for your sacrifices and for your absolute commitment to keeping our town safe.

Please join us in giving Dan the massive congratulations he deserves in the comments below! 👇🎉
