Official update from this morning’s incident we attended.

Following Cleveland Fire Brigade’s attendance at a house fire on Birchington Avenue, Grangetown, this morning (Wednesday 26 August), we can confirm that the fire has now been extinguished.

Six fire appliances from Grangetown, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Saltburn attended the incident, along with the Incident Command Unit. One appliance remains at the scene on protective standby.

We can confirm that six people were inside the property at the time of the fire. Tragically, two people have died. One person remains in a critical condition, while three others are receiving treatment.

The circumstances surrounding this tragic incident will now be jointly investigated by Cleveland Police and Cleveland Fire Brigade’s fire investigation officers.

It is with great sadness that we share this update. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of everyone affected at this incredibly difficult time.

Historic Huntcliff Rescue 🐕

In August 1980, Saltburn Community Fire Station was called to an incident at Huntcliff, Saltburn, where a dog had become stranded on the cliffs.

Leading Firefighter Murray bravely carried out the rescue while attached to a safety line, bringing the dog safely back to the top.

A fantastic piece of history, captured in this historic photograph. 🚒

🌳 Do you live near open spaces? A few simple steps can help reduce the risk.

With prolonged dry weather, grass and vegetation can become extremely dry, meaning outdoor fires can spread quickly. If you live near grassland, fields, woodland or other open spaces, there are a few simple things you can do to help:

🔥 Avoid BBQs, fires and other naked flames on or near dry grass.

🚬 Always dispose of ci******es and matches safely.

🗑️ Take litter home with you, particularly glass bottles.

🏡 Keep your own garden tidy and clear away dry or dead vegetation where you can.

👀 If you spot a fire, move to a safe place and call 999 - don't assume someone else has already reported it.
Most wildfires are preventable, and small actions can make a big difference in helping to protect our open spaces and the communities around them.

🔥 Close Call 🚒

Yesterday, we responded to a fire at an allotment. On arrival, we found an unattended bonfire that had spread into the surrounding undergrowth. 🌿

On investigation, we discovered that the bonfire had been burning for a couple of days. Due to the warm and dry weather ☀️, it had gradually spread, creating a potentially serious situation.

This is a reminder that fires can remain dangerous long after they appear to have gone out.

🚫 Never leave a bonfire unattended.
💧 Always make sure it is completely extinguished before leaving the area.

What may seem like a harmless bonfire can quickly become a serious fire. Stay safe. 🚒

Please follow the up to date advice on controlled burning during this on going heatwave.

To ensure it was fully extinguished we used two full tanks of water from the fire appliance.

👋 Meet the faces behind our Loftus Community Fire Station and Saltburn Community Fire Station pages!

You might have spotted a little more from our On-Call crews popping up on Facebook recently... and these two (CM Charles Peirson & CM James Charles) are helping to make it happen!

As well as responding to incidents and serving their local communities as On-Call firefighters, Charles and James are helping us give you a closer look at life at our On-Call stations. From training and incidents to community events and everything that goes on behind the scenes! 🚒

We introduced dedicated pages for some of our On-Call stations to help bring our crews closer to the communities they serve, showcase the work they do and give people a better understanding of what being an On-Call firefighter is really like.

And who better to tell that story than the people actually doing the job?

So, if you live around Loftus or Saltburn, make sure you’re following your local station page to see what the crews get up to. And do make sure to say hello to Charles or James if you see them! 👀🔥

And you never know… it might even inspire you to find out a little more about becoming an On-Call firefighter yourself! 🚒
