Latest incidents - we're there when you need us
We respond to a variety of emergencies, including fires, road traffic collisions, specialist rescues, maritime incidents, flooding, and incidents relating to hazardous materials.
Here you can find details of some of our incidents. We don’t list details of every incident we attend but only those where there is an important safety message, or we need to warn and inform. We also highlight good work from our crews or some of our more interesting rescues.
