LATEST NEWS

A huge fire broke out at a warehouse on West Quay Road in Poole on Wednesday 1 October.

The fire started on the first floor of the property, but fortunately the occupants were alerted by working fire alarms.

Following recent major incidents, 46 stations across the region are hoping to recruit more on-call firefighters.

There has been a surge in wildfires this summer, and the service says it is overstretched and in need of increased funding.

Crews from across the area raced to put out a fire in Alderholt that had spread across two fields.

The Fire Brigades Union has criticised the government for its failure to provide sufficient resources to cope with major incidents.

Up to 40 firefighters and 18 appliances were needed to put out last week’s blaze, which authorities say was caused deliberately.

Around 40 firefighters fought the blaze at The Dudsbury Golf Club, Christchurch Road, Longham, on Friday night.

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service have tips not just for staying fire safe but avoiding getting into difficulties in water.

The service has launched a video so that owners can avoid fires emanating from E-bike and mobility scooter batteries.
