Retired Station Manager Paul Clarke saved his elderly neighbour when fire hit her Enfield home. Station Manager Nic McCallum, who was at the scene said:
"Clearly nothing had been lost after ten years of retirement. His actions were true to form but I was thankful he had not deemed it necessary to remove his retirement axe from its mounting to gain entry.

Our new figures show that fire deaths, incidents and calls are all down and fires are below 20,000 a year for first time since England won the World Cup. Fantastic achievement for firefighters & all staff who work on fire safety; making London safer than ever before.

  • Andy King Of course they do when someone jumping out of a burning building because they have to and kill themselves doesn't count as a fire death does it. And if fire calls have gone down have all the other calls you get gone up.

  • Gareth Williams I think they are saying that fires have kept pace with increased population, over 50 years, deaths may have fallen and fire prevention maybe working. Depression of the economy brings about higher losses for business and we experienced that in the 80's where insurances pay out. its good news to see we are making inroads to reducing losses and the perils of fire.

(No need to) Call the Midwife! Firefighter James Stennett delivered a baby girl this morning, just yards from Battersea fire station.
James who is on blue watch, has been a firefighter for 13 years and previously worked as a paramedic. This is the sixth baby James has delivered and he said it was one of the easiest because his crew were there to help.
Mum and baby were taken to hospital and are doing well. Well done James and the rest of Battersea blue watch!

Meet Diana Gould - 103-years young on 23 May. After being inspired by Diana's positive attitude to life on a routine home fire safety visit, crews from Stanmore Green Watch decided to pay her a surprise visit on her birthday. Crew Manager Stavros Marangos said: "She's a remarkable lady and stole our hearts with her amazing attitude. We wanted to do something a little bit extra for her so we took a fire engine to her home to surprise her with a card and a bunch of flowers on her big day." Pic ©TonyHardiman
