This Volunteers’ Week we’ve been celebrating the amazing work our Community Fire Safety Volunteers do and what they get from it.
Rosie is one of our volunteers and here’s what she had to say.
“Over the past year, I have really enjoyed volunteering with Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I am grateful for everything I have learned through the training, events, and opportunities I have been involved in. One of the things I have valued most is the chance to meet so many amazing people. Everyone has been so welcoming, supportive, and willing to share their knowledge and experiences. Seeing the dedication and passion of those within the organisation has been genuinely inspiring and has given me a real appreciation for the difference they make in our communities. Being part of such a positive and encouraging team has helped me grow in confidence, develop new skills, and given me even greater motivation to achieve my goal of joining Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service.”

It’s Volunteers’ Week and one of our own, Palvira, had this to say about what it means to her.
“I enjoy volunteering for Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service because it gives me the opportunity to support my local community and make a positive difference. I’ve also enjoyed being part of a supportive team and meeting lots of new people, whether that’s members of the community or fellow volunteers. I’ve learnt a lot through volunteering and the experiences I’ve had, which has helped me grow in confidence as well as develop new skills. I’m truly grateful to be part of such a rewarding and worthwhile organisation.”

With summer fully on the way, it’s important to be aware of the hidden dangers of swimming in open water. Rivers and lakes can contain debris, unpredictable currents, and sudden changes in depth—and even on the hottest days, the water can stay surprisingly cold.
For a safer experience, why not choose one of the county’s organised venues? From splash parks and swimming pools to watersports centres, there are plenty of great options to enjoy the water safely.
