Earlier this week, our Fire Investigation dogs Ginny and Barney were put through their paces at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground 🐾🐶

The duo carried out specialist training to detect accelerants within a stadium environment, helping ensure they’re ready to respond in complex, real-world settings.

Great work by Ginny, Barney, and their handlers to help keep our communities safe! 👏

There have been no reports of any injuries; however, the road is currently closed whilst we resolve this incident.

Road closures are in place after police were called to reports of a serious collision involving a car and three pedestrians.

Officers were called to Linby Lane, near Hucknall, at around 9pm this evening. Linby Lane is currently shut between Moor Road and Wighay Road and is expected to remain closed for some time.

The three casualties have been taken to hospital with serious injuries. A man has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving.

Motorists are advised to avoid the area and find an alternative route.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service has launched a new road safety campaign ahead of the Men’s World Cup, bringing together partners from across the county to encourage everyone to enjoy the tournament safely.

The campaign was officially launched at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground, where partners came together to promote key road safety messages.

Throughout June and July, we’re working with local football clubs including Notts County Football Club, Nottingham Forest and Mansfield Town Football Club alongside licensed venues across the county—including a number of Greene King sites—to help reduce incidents on our roads and keep our communities safe.

Do you know somebody between the ages of 14 and 16 who would be interested in joining our fire cadets⁉️🧑‍🚒

We are calling upon young people from across the county to apply for our upcoming programme, offering a valuable opportunity to gain new skills, build confidence and experience life within our Service.
