Highfields Fire Station

A lovely compliment for White Watch, thank you 🤍

Following the RTC on Melton Road, Normanton On The Wolds, firefighters on scene have been complimented by a paramedic, who attended for East Midlands Ambulance Service.

She said: "I was absolutely amazed at the incredible teamwork, leadership and collaboration at this incident. All team members demonstrated an unwavering calm and professional approach - I was completely inspired and in awe by their practice. Thank you for all you do."

Well done West Bridgford Fire Station, London Road Fire Station and Highfields Fire Station - thank you ❤️

That’s a wrap on the UKRO Rope Rescue Challenge 2025.

After another intense day of scenarios - our Highfields team has completed the competition. While we didn’t take home the trophy this time (Congratulations London Fire Brigade), the experience has been invaluable.

Events like this allow us to learn, test our skills in unfamiliar environments, and share ideas with rope rescue teams from across the country — all of which helps us improve how we operate in the real world.

A huge thank you to Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service for hosting, and well done to all the teams who took part.

We’re heading home proud, motivated, and better prepared for the next challenge.
