A blast from the past. We think it's 1999 but could be wrong. Anyone recognise anyone?

The station has had 4 call outs today due to young children lighting fires in and around Market Weighton. Please can all parents make sure your children dont have access to matches or lighters or if anyone knows of children lighting fires make sure they are made aware of the risks involved. If the station is out at one of these jobs we aren't available for rtc's or a proper house fire where people could be in danger. Thanks

Tonight our crews did some off station training. This involved going to Goodmanham to set up an improvised dam in the beck to enable crews to use beck water to attack a simulated fire on top of the old railway bridge. We used a light portable pump to provide water for the firefighters approx 100 metres away on top of the bridge.

This was an incident we attended last night at 02.45. We got it as a derelict pub at Holme Upon Spalding Moor well alight. Upon arrival we called for more resources. In the end it went to 5 appliances, 2 from Market Weighton, 1 from Howden, 1 from Goole and 1 from Brough and an ALP (aerial ladder platform) from Hull. These pictures really show how vital it is to shut all doors on an evening. These are not fire doors but they still do an amazing job at stopping fire spread and smoke damage.
