FIRE RESCUE update with

Trevor Ealam

March was another reasonably quiet month for the brigade with six calls. One call was to assist the Cust Brigade at a house fire which turned out to be a false alarm.

In our area we were asked to attend two vegetation fires; one where a power line company accidentally dropped a hot object in a hedge and the other was to a controlled crop residue burn. We were called to an unattended rubbish fire where very strong north west winds were predicted and did arrive, one to a ride on lawnmower which was totally destroyed and one to a private alarm activation which was accidental.

This brings our total calls for the year to sixteen.

The Brigade would like to thank all those that supported our fire wood raffle at the Oxford A & P Show and Jarred Buckley for the wood donation.

The raffle was won by R Philpott. Also a big thanks to Kerry McCorry and Scott Evans for their most generous donation from their sunflowers as outlined in a previous article in the Observer.

This month's message is; It was the end of daylight saving on the 2nd of April and it was time to check your smoke alarms.

Just remember if you look after them they will look after you.

If you have any questions or problems with them give me a call on 0272977564.
