A brilliant community effort helped raise a fantastic £617.25 at Workington Fire Station's open day on Saturday! Blue Watch from Workington and Whitehaven stations were joined by Workington on-call firefighters and the Fire Cadets units from both stations for a fun-packed day.

#SmokeAlarmsSaveLives – but only if they work. It's #TestItTuesday so test yours now by pressing the button until the alarm sounds. If it doesn’t, you need to replace the battery. Make sure you have at least one on every level of your home and 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 cover a smoke alarm.

☀ With a yellow Heat-Health Alert in place until 5pm on Wednesday 27 May, it may be tempting to cool off in open water such as rivers, lakes and reservoirs but cold water can kill. ❄ Think before you or friends enter water – cold water shock can affect even strong swimmers.

Firefighters worked late into the night to tackle a fire at a commercial site on Isabella Road, Workington. Six fire engines from Workington, Whitehaven, Cockermouth and Maryport fire stations attended, using a hose reel jet and ground monitors to extinguish the fire.
