    Thanks to the early action from all of these drivers, @DWFRSFerndown and #Ringwood had a faster response time to an emergency call to help a trapped casualty #everysecondcounts #moveover #cleartheway #Dorset #Wiltshire

    Fantastic work tonight at Cranborne. Despite damage to thatched roof, firefighters successfully avoided significant fire damage to the rest of the property and worked hard to salvage all of the owners possessions! Scaling down attendance in next hour or so. Great Job 👍

    We're still tackling the heath fire at #Ferndown - please, please avoid the area, we've already had access issues this morning where dog walkers etc have parked up. We need clear access & not to have to worry about bystanders! Thank you
