Last night crews were called to a residential fire in the area of Polzeath, appliances from across the county attended and are still coming and going for reliefs. A long night for the crews and some rest is well deserved. @CornwallFRS

The visit allowed us to build relations with the farmers, which our station has a natural affiliation with due to the Line Rescue Station specialism. It is also a welcome return to community based activities post COVID-19 and we look forward to more events in the future.
