Brant Broughton Fire Station

Tragically, another life has been lost in the water in Lincolnshire.

Our thoughts and condolences are with their friends and family at this difficult time.

It’s a heart breaking reminder of the dangers of our waters here in the UK.

With the warm weather continuing this half term, our plea for everyone is to know your water safety.

Cold water shock can happen in seconds, and even the strongest of swimmers can still get into difficulty. The UK’s waters never get warm enough, even on the hottest of days, to stop this involuntary reaction.

If you’re struggling in the water, remember to FLOAT:
- Tilt your head back, submerging your ears.
- Relax and control your breathing.
- Move your hands and legs to help you stay afloat.
- Your legs may sink. That’s ok, everyone floats differently.
- Once calm, call for help

If you see someone struggling, avoid entering the water, tell them to FLOAT, call 999, and throw something that they can grab on to.

Yesterday our crew attended a large industrial fire 🚒🚨🔥

One of our development Firefighters got the opportunity to operationally apply foam, under the watchful eye of our Watch Manager 🚒

Firefighters sometimes add foam to water as a wetting agent to help it soak deeper into burning materials. This improves cooling, reaches hidden hot spots, and helps prevent the fire from reigniting while using water more efficiently. 🚒

We’re recruiting dedicated community members to join our on-call fire station - a team built on trust, teamwork, and continuous learning 🚒

Every call is a chance to make a real difference. You’ll train, grow your skills, and work alongside a supportive crew who always have your back 🚒

No prior experience needed - just commitment, courage, and a willingness to learn 🚒

If you’re ready to be part of something bigger and help protect your community, we’d love to hear from you 🚒

🚨Step up. Train together. Respond together. Save lives together. Make a difference together ❤️🚒🚨

A few pics from tonight’s Breathing Apparatus training undertaken on station 🚒

We have one Firefighter due to attend their Breathing Apparatus Refresher (BAR) assessment and another one attending their Breathing Apparatus Team Leader (BATL) assessment in the coming weeks, so we’re making sure they are both fully prepared! 🚒

The fire station was filled with synthetic smoke, procedures were fully practiced with a simulated scenario of a property fire persons reported and then smoke cleared with the PPV fan 🚒🚨
