We're recruiting on-call firefighters at Wivenhoe Fire Station ๐Ÿš’

Our on-call firefighters all live or work within five minutes of the fire station and are paged when there is an incident.

This means they're not based at the fire station full time and they can go about their daily business like working other jobs or spending time in their community. All while helping to keep the fire station available when needed.

Could you make a difference to your community?

Where else do you get an opportunity to see a dog abseiling down a tower with his handler. ๐Ÿถ We hope you enjoyed our open day! Thank you for coming and to our colleagues and partner agencies who made our day a great success.

Firefighters were called to a shed fire in Osborne Close, Clacton at 2:05pm.

Crews believe the fire was caused by a w**d burner that had not fully cooled down before being put in the shed.

Watch Manager Matt Baxter from Wivenhoe Fire Station said: โ€œWeโ€™d recommend you avoid using w**d burners generally as they often cause fires, especially in dry conditions throughout summer.

โ€œIf you are going to use them, weโ€™d advise you use them carefully and keep water on hand while using them as it only takes an ember in dry conditions to start a fire. Then make sure they are fully cooled down before storing them.โ€
