Bodmin Community Fire Station

🇺🇸 Tomorrow, three firefighters from Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service will take on the Terry Farrell Patriot Day Memorial Stair Climb at Truist Park in Atlanta.

They’ll climb 110 floors – more than 2,000 steps – in full firefighting kit, carrying the name and photograph of one of the 343 FDNY firefighters who lost their lives on 11 September 2001.

The event has a 25-year history, bringing firefighters together to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. This year’s climb is especially significant, marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

Our three Cornwall firefighters are among several hundred UK & Ireland firefighters from 48 fire and rescue services taking part.

🚨 Drill night 🚒

This evening, our crews carried out realistic operational training at Western Counties Roofing Bodmin.

We would like to thank Western Counties Roofing for providing access to their premises and supporting our ongoing training.

Training at different locations helps our crews experience unfamiliar environments, strengthen teamwork and decision making, and stay prepared for the variety of incidents we may face across our communities.

Thanks again Western Counties Roofing 🫡🚒

32 years have passed.

Today, we remember our friend and colleague, Michael “Sonny” Liston.

Sonny served at Bodmin and was taken from us on 03.09.1994 following a barn fire.

Always in our memory.

R.I.P. Sonny. 🚒 ❤️

AUGUST …..

🚒 WHAT. A. MONTH. 🔥

107 fire calls !
One hundred and seven in 31 days!

From Launceston to Lands end.
From the fun of station open day and Bodmin carnival, to a seriously busy month of wildfires, vehicle fires, bonfires, animal rescues and standby duties supporting other stations attending local incidents.

We even managed to watch the eclipse while dampening down the remains of a field fire. 🌘🔥

A special thank you to the partners, families, employers and loved ones at home who have supported us through an exceptionally busy month. With 107 calls, there have inevitably been cancelled plans, missed events, late nights and plenty of interrupted evenings. Your patience, understanding and continued support are hugely appreciated and never taken for granted. ❤️

107 calls. Countless hours. One incredible station.

A job well done to all CFRS colleagues, it’s been one to remember. 🚒

What a team and a huge thank you to all our family, friends and colleagues that have supported and made this mission for charity a success, whether it was running with us, baking or making food, Livingstone Electrics Ltd for helping us out with equipment and essentials, or supporting behind the scenes. And thank you to all the wonderful people who donated, each and every one of you is helping support children with cancer in Cornwall ♥️

There's still time to donate here, over 200km of absolutely grueling coast path run, over 30,000 ft of climb, bumps, blisters, bruises, all worth it!

🚒🔥 A huge thank you to our fire crews across Cornwall.

Over the last few days, crews have tackled multiple wildfires across the county and multiple crews are currently out attending wildfires. Often working day and night with very little rest.

Around 75% of Cornwall Fire & Rescue Service is made up of on call firefighters. They have full time jobs and lives outside the service, but when the call comes, they drop everything to help protect our communities. ❤️

🔥 Help prevent wildfires:
• Don’t drop ci******es or leave glass behind.
• Only use barbecues/fires where permitted.
• Never leave a fire unattended.
• If you see a fire, get to safety and call 999.

📍 Use what3words to give emergency services a precise location, especially in remote areas.

Stay safe, protect our countryside, and thank you to every firefighter giving up their time to keep Cornwall safe. 👏🚒
