An appliance from Tolvaddon Community Fire Station attended to a call concerning an out of control bonfire. The crew used Beaters and one hose reel to extinguish the fire.

If you are planning a large bonfire in Cornwall, inform Cornwall Fire, Rescue and Community Safety Service before you start by dialing 0203 162 2240 and tell the Critical Control Operator:
• Your location.
• Time you intend to start burning.
• Confirm when you have finished burning.
This helps us avoid sending fire engines to false alarms when they could be responding to a real emergency.
With controlled burns, it is illegal to leave a fire unattended or to have too few people to control it. Always ensure a fire is completely out before you leave it and check next day to ensure it has not reignited.
