This page is designed to give everyone a view of the fire calls that we attend as well as an insight to the general life on an on call/retained firefighter.

We will also post useful safety information and some of the community events that we attend.

Crews from Ledbury Fire Station recently headed over to a Training Facility for a day of realistic, hands-on training, working alongside colleagues from Upton Upon Severn Fire Station and Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service.

The day involved a range of challenging scenarios, including:

🔥 Car fires and house fires with persons reported
🚗 Road traffic collisions
🪜 House fire rescues involving ladders
👨‍🚒 Multi-agency house fire scenarios involving multiple breathing apparatus (BA) crews, ladder rescues and a car fire outside.

The exercises provided a valuable opportunity to develop our skills, practise working together across stations and services, and prepare for the variety of incidents we may face on the frontline.

It was also a fantastic opportunity for our development firefighters to put their learning into practice and gain valuable experience towards their firefighter development programme👨‍🚒👏

A big thank you to everyone involved in organising and delivering the training!

Ledbury crew were proud to help put up the poppy display at the Alms Houses in preparation for Remembrance Sunday.

It’s an honour to play a small part in remembering all those who have served and sacrificed for our country.

A big thank you to everyone involved in creating this wonderful display for our town.🌺

⚠️ We respectfully ask that you carefully reconsider all activities that may cause fire. The smallest spark can turn into a large and uncontrollable fire in a matter of seconds. 👉 Please read our advice below:

❌ Don't have BBQs.
❌ Don't light bonfires.
❌ Don't drop ci******es, matches or smoking materials on the ground.
❌ Don't leave glass bottles or litter in open spaces.
❌ Don't leave mirrors or reflective objects where they could focus sunlight.
❌ Don't use fireworks.
❌ Don't park vehicles on dry grass. Hot exhausts and catalytic converters can start fires.
❌ Don't burn garden waste.
❌ Don't use machinery that creates sparks near dry grass, crops or vegetation.
❌ Don't continue working if equipment is overheating.
❌ Don't ignore damaged exhausts, bearings or brakes that could generate heat or sparks.
❌ Don't let cut grass, straw or debris build up around engines and moving parts.
❌ Don't refuel machinery while it's hot or running.
❌ Don't leave machinery unattended while operating.

It’s been a busy week for Ledbury Fire Station! 🚒

This week alone, we’ve responded to 16 shouts between our fire engine (pump) and drone team. These incidents have come at all times of the day and night, keeping our crews on their toes, with the majority being fires in the open.

It’s been a very busy period across the whole of Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (HWFRS), with crews from across the county responding to a high number of incidents in similar conditions.

With the current spell of hot, dry weather and very little rainfall, the risk of grass, crop and woodland fires is extremely high. Even something as small as a discarded cigarette, disposable barbecue or unattended bonfire can quickly develop into a large fire.

Please help us reduce the risk by:
🔥 Avoiding lighting fires or using disposable barbecues in the countryside.
🚬 Disposing of ci******es safely.
🚗 Not parking on dry grass, as hot exhausts can ignite it.
📞 Calling 999 immediately if you see a fire.

A huge thank you to all of our firefighters and drone pilots, along with their families and employers, for their continued commitment and support during such a demanding week.

Please stay vigilant, take extra care while enjoying the outdoors, and help us keep our communities safe.

Stay safe,
Station 42✌🏼

Edit: make that 18 shouts

What a mad 30 hours it’s been here at Ledbury Fire Station 🚒

From one call to the next, crews have been kept on their toes across the weekend. Incidents were spaced just enough to catch our breath… then straight back out the door again. That’s the nature of the job – unpredictable, demanding, and never dull.

Over the 30 hours we attended:
• 2 drone deployments
• 2 RTCs
• 1 wildfire
• 2 false alarms - for a bin fire and a small fallen aircraft

A huge shoutout to all our firefighters who have worked tirelessly to keep the community safe, showing commitment and professionalism every step of the way.

We’d also like to say a big thank you to our friends, families, and places of employment for their understanding and continued support — it never goes unnoticed and makes what we do possible.

Stay safe everyone, and happy bank holiday!!

Another productive training session for the crew at Ledbury Fire Station this week! 💪

We focused on pumping from open water using the Light Portable Pump (LPP), sharpening our skills in setting up and maintaining a reliable water supply in more rural or challenging locations

We also took to the skies with some drone training, helping us build confidence in using aerial support to improve situational awareness at incidents

Great teamwork all round and valuable skills being developed to keep our community safe🤩

RTC Training Exercise 🚒

Tonight, crews at Ledbury Fire Station took part in a joint drill night alongside Fownhope Fire Station, focusing on a Road Traffic Collision (RTC) scenario. Working together, firefighters put their skills to the test, practicing casualty extrication, scene safety, and effective teamwork under realistic conditions.

These exercises are vital in ensuring we’re always ready to respond quickly and safely when it matters most. A great effort from everyone involved, with strong collaboration and professionalism shown throughout 👏

Stay safe on the roads🚗

Thank you to Graham Baker for letting us use the facilities for our training🙏🏼
