Latest incidents - we're there when you need us
We respond to a wide range of emergencies, including fires, road traffic collisions, specialist rescues, maritime incidents, flooding and incidents relating to hazardous materials. Here you’ll find details of some of the incidents we attend.
We don’t publish every incident, just those where there’s an important safety message, a need to warn or inform the public or an example of something a little different. We also work closely with local media to share relevant information with our communities.
