🚒 Taking Care of Those Who Answer the Call 💪🧠

RAF Lakenheath Fire & Emergency Services hosted its second Safety Stand-Down Day, focusing on the mental and physical demands of firefighting.

Taking time to focus on our health reinforces the importance of physical readiness, mental wellness, and looking out for one another. Supporting our firefighters helps them stay ready to serve our community and return home safely.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this day possible and continues to put the well-being of our team first!

🏃‍♂️💚 Running for Harry 💚🏃‍♂️

One of our own, Steven Barrick, is taking on the 2027 London Marathon in memory of his nephew, Harry Lock, who sadly passed away on 20 June 2026 following his battle with leukaemia.

To honour Harry’s memory, Steve aims to raise £2,500 for Anthony Nolan, helping people with blood cancer find potentially lifesaving stem cell donors.

Every donation, big or small, will help Steve honour Harry’s memory and give hope to another family.

Let’s get behind Steve and support a cause so close to his heart. Thank you for your generosity and support. 💚

🚒 Welcome back, Mr. Earle Wingate!

On October 12, we welcomed Mr. Wingate back to Fire Station #1—nearly five decades after he served at RAF Lakenheath Fire in the late 1970s!

After his time here, he completed law school and spent 38 years as a prosecuting attorney in Maine. Today, he continues serving his community as a volunteer fire captain at Peru Maine Fire Department.

We enjoyed showing him around the base and firehouse, sharing stories, and hearing about the old days. Thank you for visiting, Mr. Wingate—you’ll always be part of the Lakenheath Fire family! 🇺🇸🇬🇧
