Employers recognition!! We would not be able to do what we do without employers allowing their staff to attend incidents during their working hours. Today we thank Alford Coal Supplies and Safelincs Fire & Safety for continuing to release employees at the call of an alerter, at any time! The community thanks you 🙂

🏢 Businesses have a responsibility to dispose of waste safely and legally.

Office waste, construction materials, landscaping waste, farm plastics, and industrial waste should always be managed by registered waste carriers or approved waste sites.

Responsible waste management protects your staff, customers, and local environment.

So after an incident where we have used our trucks water tank, we like to refill immediately just in case another incident comes our way. Conveniently for us today, our nearest usable water hydrant was right outside Farmer Browns Ice cream in Huttoft. Obviously we had to indulge.

What made the ice cream taste even better was that Darren (Farmer Brown) said ‘these are on me’

Thank you so much Farmer Brown. It was much appreciated!

Junctions Are High Risk

At junctions, riders can easily be hidden in blind spots or appear closer than they are.

Key reminders:
• Take extra time before pulling out
• Watch carefully for fast-approaching motorcycles
• Check for cyclists before turning left or opening doors
• Riders should position themselves clearly and avoid lingering in blind spots

40 years serving his local community, a magnificent achievement. Well done and enjoy your retirement Ray. It will be several years before anyone at Alford comes close to that

This afternoon our ex watch manager Ray Ford along with some of his family collected an award from Spilsby Town Council. It was to reflect and celebrate Rays 40 years commitment to the town via his role at our station. Also very fitting to involve his family in the award as they of course had to make sacrifices when Ray was alerted to an incident anytime day or night.

Thanks to Spilsby Town Council and of course congratulations to Ray & family
