Last weekend, Shepton Mallet firefighters were mobilised to and assisted our brothers and sisters from neighbouring Castle Cary Fire Station, Wincanton Fire Station and Yeovil Fire Station at a property fire.

We were alerted yesterday afternoon to a fire in an outbuilding containing a swimming pool. On arrival the building was well alight with flames issuing through the roof. Appliances from Wincanton and Shepton Mallet kept a steady supply of water until the water carrier from Yeovil arrived. Crews used breathing apparatus, hose reel jets and 51mm jets to extinguish.
We returned to the property a few hours after the fire was extinguished to check for hotspots.

Easter weekend saw Shepton Mallet firefighters practising their rope rescue skills.

We have to do additional regular training as Shepton Mallet Fire Station have a SWAH (Safe Working At Height) Level 2 capability allowing us to perform lowering and raising rescues whilst working on a rope under tension.

The scenario was a worker (played by a dummy) that was unable to complete their job and had become stuck whilst hanging on their safety equipment.

We would like to thank Friends of Windsor Hill Tunnels and Rock Farm Somerset for their cooperation and allowing us access for training. These locations are invaluable for us to train in realistic surroundings.

A big thank you to Tesco Shepton Mallet for allowing us to use their car park recently for our charity car wash.

After washing cars all day, Shepton Mallet firefighters were just clearing up ready to go home when we had a shout.

Thankfully we weren't required in the end so were not out for long and were able to get home for dinner.

It's been a busy weekend for fire crews of Shepton Mallet Fire Station.

On Friday we were mobilised and responded to two gain entry shouts.

These are where we usually assist the ambulance service with gaining access into a property so that they can treat a casualty that cannot open the door for them.

The third shout on Friday was to a large fire in the open with grassland on fire near Priddy.

Saturday saw us responding to a false alarm
with good intent at a care home.

Second was to assist at a property fire over the border in Radstock.

Third was to a waste bin fire in Collett Park, which had spread to Collett Park Cafe.

Details of many of the incidents that we and other stations attend within Devon and Somerset can be found on the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service newsdesk
