Has anyone seen what's been happening down at @DerbyshireFRS @AshbourneStn today?? Looks like chaos!!! That's because we're getting ready for our Fire Station Open Day tomorrow 10am-3pm - pop down tomorrow for a mooch, a brew and an ice-cream 🚒 ☕️🍦😎
We have recently had an increase of fire setting around Dimple fields 🔥🔥
Please respect our community and do not set fires- fires damage open spaces and spread extremely quickly ❌🔥@DerbyshireFRS

Sunday evening the stop message went in for Win Hill. This incident lasted 6 days and took a lot of resources away from the community. Well done to all the firefighters involved, control staff and partner agencies. All this was because of a camp stove @DerbyshireFRS #bemooraware
🤦♂️😡🥵
Come on people, help us out here!You’ve seen the news & all the fires due to the heat so why would you think it’s acceptable to take a camp stove or portable bbq into open spaces when its tinder dry! Both were found at #WinHillEdge at #LadyBower where crews saw others bbq’ing! 😡
