🚒🚒 SHOUT!! 🚒🚒

Yesterday, we were mobilised to an automatic fire alarm at a commercial premises in Marlesford.After confirming it was a false alarm, whilst returning to the station, we was prioritised to an animal rescue in Leiston, alongside our colleagues from Leiston Fire Station.

🐕 Two dogs safely rescued!On arrival, crews used small tools and, with the assistance of the owner, were able to safely release both dogs. 🐾

As we were packing away our tools, we were prioritised to another automatic fire alarm in Aldringham. On arrival, we established that the alarm had been activated by smoke from the owner preparing their steak dinner! 🥩🔥 Unfortunately, there wasn’t quite enough steak to go around the crew, but we were kindly offered refreshments instead. ☕😂

You’d think that would be enough for one shift… but no!

😴 At 0018 hours, just as we were sound asleep, the alarm at the commercial premises in Marlesford decided it wanted another visit! 🚨

Crews attended and provided advice to the building’s keyholder.

Finally, we were safely back in bed by 0145 hours 🛏️💤

A busy shift covering fire alarms, an animal rescue and a little bit of steak envy! 😂🥩

👏 A big thank you to our colleagues from Leiston for their assistance with the animal rescue, and to everyone who helped us during the incidents.

Stay safe, everyone!** 🚒❤️

Sadly, last week we lost Liam, who worked as a wholetime firefighter within the county day crew. ❤️🚒

Liam worked across many stations throughout Suffolk, as well as his home station of Hadleigh. He also provided many hours of cover at Saxmundham, helping to ensure we were available to respond to incidents and support our community whenever needed.

As a crew, we have donated £200 to help support Liam’s family during this incredibly difficult time. We are sharing the link below for anyone who would like to contribute. No matter how big or small, every donation will make a difference and be greatly appreciated.

You may have gone, mate, but you will never be forgotten. ❤️

We are so grateful to have had the pleasure of working alongside you. It still doesn’t feel real that you’re gone. You had a special place in so many people’s lives, and you will be missed more than words can ever say.

The service has lost a great firefighter, and we have lost a great friend. Thank you for the memories, the laughs, and the privilege of knowing you.

Our heartfelt condolences, love and thoughts go out to Liam’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. 💙

Rest easy, mate.

Gone but never forgotten. 🚒💙

RIP Liam.

A Special Thank You

We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone at Hammond Commercial Centre for their generous donation of £250 to the Fire Fighters Charity in memory of our fellow Saxmundham firefighter, Trevor Churchyard (TC).

Sadly, we lost Trevor in July 2026, and he will be fondly remembered by all who knew and worked alongside him.

This kind and thoughtful gesture means a great deal to us, and we are truly grateful for your support in honouring Trevor’s memory.

Message from Firefighter Cheale from Saxmundham

🇬🇧 ✈️ America 🇺🇸 TOMORROW…

After months of anticipation, tomorrow I finally head to Atlanta.

It’s hard to believe it’s actually here.

Southampton was the warm-up. Now comes the challenge I’ve been working towards — the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb.

110 floors.
Firefighter gear.
One fallen firefighter to remember.
Every step in their honour.

I’m incredibly proud and humbled to be representing the UK alongside 342 other UK firefighters, coming together with firefighters and emergency services from across the world to remember the 343 who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11th, 2001.

There’s a mixture of excitement, nerves and probably a fair bit of disbelief that I’m actually doing this!

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way — whether you’ve donated, shared my page, sent a message or simply followed the journey. It genuinely means so much.

Southampton is done.

Atlanta… here I come.

I’ll keep you updated from Atlanta.
