FYI to all.
This is what goes into a Type B, Appliances during a pump change over.
Not the quickest way but the best way, in my eyes to make sure all kit is stowed correctly and fit for purpose.
One goes out and One comes in

Last weeks drill night, the crews went through some height safety engagement with the services Learning and Development team. Great engagement and some funny faces were made trying to tie some of the knots😂 but all managed.

Busy night for Appleby fire station backing up Shap on a Building fire in are locality. Also on scene for water and resources was Penrith Fire Station and Carlisle East TL and support Appliance.
Several B.A were used, main jets and the local water source(Stream) was used to keep the Appliances topped up.
Unfortunately the Building and contents were lost but a nearby larger structure was protected from fire spread and potential nearby houses evacuated.🤞👏.
