On Sunday 23 August, Nuneaton Fire Station marked a significant moment in its history when an all-female firefighter crew was on duty for the first time.

Collectively, the firefighters brought almost 44 years of operational experience, demonstrating the expertise, professionalism and commitment that our communities rely on every day.

Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service is proud to be an inclusive organisation that reflects the communities we serve. Every firefighter has earned their role through hard work, dedication and the highest professional standards.

Thank you to the crew for their continued service in helping to keep our communities safe.

๐Ÿ•๏ธ Planning a camping trip this August Bank Holiday?

With dry weather increasing the risk of fire, we're asking everyone to take extra care when camping, whether you're staying at a festival, campsite or enjoying the countryside.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Keep camping stoves and gas canisters well away from BBQs and other sources of heat.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Do not use disposable BBQs. They can remain dangerously hot long after use and can easily start fires if placed on dry grass or disposed of incorrectly. Never use BBQs, cooking equipment or gas appliances inside tents or enclosed spaces.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Never leave cooking equipment unattended and always ensure it has fully cooled before moving or disposing of it.

๐Ÿšฌ Extinguish ci******es completely and dispose of them responsibly. A discarded cigarette can quickly ignite dry grass and vegetation.

Let's all do our bit to prevent fires and keep ourselves, fellow campers and Warwickshire safe this Bank Holiday weekend.
