Our crews do a lot of work in the community and recently Hounslow firefighters attended the borough’s Junior Citizens workshops where they spoke to children from local primary schools about fire safety.
The children were quizzed on the dangers of fire in the home and how they can be prevented. As well as discussing what to do when a smoke alarm goes off, the pupils practiced how they’d respond in the event of a fire with lots of thick smoke – by staying low and crawling to sa...

Congratulations and a huge well done to Chelsea Blue Watch who have raised over £2,200 for the Emily Ash Trust – a charity for children suffering from cancer and leukaemia. 
The watch organised two charity challenges as part of their fundraising efforts. 
The first task was a four mile fire engine pull from Chelsea fire station to Knightsbridge and as if that wasn’t difficult enough, the following week the watch completed a 7km Mud Challenge assault course.

Meet Scruffy. He was rescued by West Norwood White Watch early this morning after he became stuck in the mud at Crystal Palace Park whilst on a walk. 
Fortunately he was uninjured, but before he set off home he was treated to a quick bucket bath!

Last night over 70 firefighters battled through the heat to tackle a large workshop fire in Leytonstone.
The fire affected two car workshops under railway arches that contained around 15 cars, a breakers yard and a neighbouring garden.
Four gas cylinders were also involved in the blaze and due to the risk from the cylinders, 100 people were evacuated from nearby roads as a precaution. Ten fire engines attended the incident.

A warehouse in West London is as close as they’ll get to Hollywood, but Victoria Metz and Richard Binder had starring roles in short films about their working lives that will be broadcast later this year on CBS Reality UK (Sky 146, Virgin 148, Freesat 135, Freeview 66, TalkTalk 484). The shoot involved professional make-up, a huge film crew and free catering, although Victoria was disappointed there was no Winnebago to relax in between takes. Both showed they could, to use film-speak, ‘take direction’ and walk around ‘on camera’ without falling over, so they clearly have potential. The films will feature their anecdotes and reflections about firefighting and in Richard’s case, working for UK ISAR in Nepal.

Wembley blue watch recently helped children from a nearby primary school turn back the clock for their history project. Pupils from Barham Primary School popped into the station to recreate archive photos from the 1950s with our present day crews.
Watch Manager Chris Swallow, said: “We agreed that 90 children would visit us to see if we could try and recreate the scenes in the old photographs. We organised a photo shoot outside the front of the station and demonstrated a drill, both of which simulated the photographs from the 1950s.
“This was not only a chance for us to engage pro- actively with the school in their history project, it was also a great opportunity for us to get over some valuable fire safety messages to the children.”
