RTC - A351 SANDFORD.

There has been a collision near the Lidl store in Sandford on the A351 involving three vehicles.
This inevitably will cause some congestion in the area while emergency services deal with the incident. Please allow a little bit of extra time if you have to travel this way.

🚒 “Knock off and make up” — the firefighter’s way of saying the job is done, the pack the kit away, and it’s time to head home.

So I’ll leave the final word to Watch Manager Brian Baker, who leaves Wareham Fire Station today after an incredible 32 years in the Fire Service.

At 8pm tonight, Brian hangs up his tunic for the final time and hands back his pager. 📟

**Thank you for everything, Brian. We’re going to miss you! ❤️🚒. **
