Honiton Fire Station

23/08/2026

If you see our vehicles out and about, and think they're looking a bit grubby, there's a very good reason - with our Service area under a hosepipe ban, we've paused routine vehicle washing until further notice.

Roadworthiness will of course be maintained, and we will continue to train as usual, just without spraying water.

Essential water usage at incidents will continue, with the support of our water companies.

We're doing our bit - are you?

July was a busy month for the crews at Honiton Fire Station, responding to 49 mobilisations across our area and beyond.

Our incidents have ranged from automatic fire alarms, rescuing a cat stuck up a tree, tackling vehicle fires and a number of fires in the open 🔥 Every call is different, and our crews are always ready to respond whenever we’re needed.

This month also saw two national deployments to support our colleagues at Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service during their major wildfire incident. We’re proud to have played a part in assisting with this significant operation alongside fire and rescue services from across the country.

Our busiest day throughout July saw us attend 6 separate incidents.

A huge thank you to our dedicated on-call firefighters, their families, employers, and our local community for your continued support. Your backing enables us to be there whenever the call comes.

🚒 🔥 💦 Stay safe, and remember – we’re here when you need us.

This week marked the end of an incredible chapter as Firefighter Warren Oak attended the station for the final time after 32 years of service in the fire service. Three decades is no small achievement, it’s a lifetime of commitment, countless call-outs, long nights, missed family moments, and moments of bravery that most of us will never see.

Throughout his career, Warren has been a constant presence in the community, serving not for recognition, but because it mattered. He has helped keep families safe, supported colleagues, and stood ready whenever the call came in. His service leaves a lasting impact not just on the fire station, but on the community he has faithfully protected for three decades.

While this chapter closes, Warren will always remain a valued part of the fire service family. The bonds built over 32 years don’t disappear, they last a lifetime. He will also continue his wholetime role in the training academy and his USAR call back. We also extend a heartfelt thank you to Ceri, whose unwavering support behind the scenes made this remarkable career possible. The strength of a firefighter is often shared with their family, and tonight we recognise and thank them for standing alongside Warren every step of the way.

As Warren now stands down from his on-call duties, we wish him nothing but happiness, good health, and well-earned time ahead. On behalf of everyone at Station 40, thank you for your service, your leadership, and your friendship. We wish you all the very best for the future, once a firefighter, always part of the family. 🚒
