Today we remember our colleague and friend FF Simon Poynton who passed away 2 years ago today.

Station life hasn’t been the same since without your grumpy smile, rest in peace brother 🚒 👨🏻‍🚒

A sad day today as we say goodbye to “Water Ladder 54” which retires from operational service after 20 years serving the community of Shirebrook! 😢🚒

WL54 was one of the first Scania appliances that Derbyshire purchased in 2005 and had an 8 seater cab allowing more firefighters to attend an incident if required.

Our replacement appliance is Water Ladder 94 which was based previously at Ilkeston 🚒

On 18th July FF Kyle Wall from Shirebrook and his colleague FF Chris Moorwood from Bolsover are undertaking the epic challenge of walking 26 miles in full fire kit all in aid of MacMillan.

At 15:19 we were mobilised as a relief crew to assist at a large moorland fire on snake pass. 🚒

Firefighters along with partners from the Fire Operations Group (FOG) and Derby Mountain Rescue have been working hard to extinguish the fire at Snake Pass Summit throughout the day.

The fire is now under control and final fire crews have withdrawn from the area, however the situation will continue to be monitored throughout the night.

Firefighters are planned to return tomorrow, Saturday 2 May, at 06:00 hours.
