St Helena Fire and Rescue Service

Easter is around the corner and the enthusiast campers are everywhere.
Please be fire safety conscious, keep camp fires small and controlled, don't leave them unattended, and extinguish them before you leave.
Be mindful of dry grass and changing winds, one spark can spread quickly.
Let's protect each other and our camp sites this Easter.

The SHFRS would like to introduce our newest member, Mr Jacob Duncan.
Jacob joined us in January 2026, and says that he is grateful to be able to embark on a career path that he has been passionate about since he was a teenager.

Sunday evening 1st of March a joint emergency service operation was conducted in unsettled sea conditions.
A crew member from a passing vessel was safely evacuated and transported to shore for medical attention.

The SHFRS visited the First Jamestown Scout Group whilst camping, fire safety advice was given to the Scouts, and their questions were answered. A demonstration was also given on pouring water on a cooking fat fire.
