You may have seen us today around Willingham Way, Kingston. We were called to smoke issuing from a high-rise building which turned out to be faulty electrics. Incidents like this attract a significant brigade attendance to ensure we have the right resources on-hand if needed.

#Surbiton and #Kingson fire appliances have responded to a car that's collided with a building this evening. Thankfully there are no reports of injuries.

We've been working with local retailers to help spread the word about e-bike and e-scooter fire safety. Last year across London LFB attended three fires involving them every week. #chargesafe Some top safety tips here: london-fire.gov.uk/safety/the-hom…

Our hose layer unit was deployed to a Thames-side training event this week in Kingston. Equipped with 4km of large diameter hose, it's mobilised to fires in remote locations or areas with insufficient water supply.

We've been dealing with more fires from electric powered vehicles in our area, including e-bikes and e-scooters. Some useful fire safety advice about owning these devices can be found here: london-fire.gov.uk/safety/the-hom…

No time for horsing around this week, we've been training with our friends Surrey Fire & Rescue Service who have been demonstrating their large animal rescue capability 🐎

We are collecting warm coats for Wrap Up London again this year. Donated coats will be distributed to vulnerable and homeless people as the cold draws in. Coats can be dropped off at Kingston and Surbiton fire stations and other locations as specified at wrapupuk.org

We welcomed our London Ambulance Service friends today for some ad-hoc training and a look around their shiny new, fully-electric response car. We work really closely with the ambulance service and always enjoy hosting them (especially when they bring mince pies!)

All LFB Kingston crews worked hard at a fire at an educational facility late last night. The fire was brought under control swiftly and there were no reports of any casualties. Specialist teams are working to establish the cause of the fire.

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated warm winter coats to us as part of the Wrap Up London project. Kingston fire station alone has received over 200 coats that will be donated to those in need in time for the cold weather ahead.

Huge thanks to Ham House for a fascinating familiarisation visit this week. We were even introduced to this antique fire pump. While firefighting has evolved, it's clear the risks of fire were just as serious for Ham House's original residents. #FireSafety #HistoricBuildings

We wanted to show our appreciation to the hard-working staff at Kingston Hospital by dropping in some treats over the Christmas period. Thanks to you all Kingston and Richmond NHS Foundation Trust

We were called to a large fire in a disused building on Richmond Road yesterday afternoon. This was a large incident that required significant resources. Crews worked extremely hard under challenging conditions to bring the fire under control.

All LFB Kingston fire engines have been responding to the large substation fire in Hayes that affected Heathrow Airport. Kingston's heavy distribution unit also attended to deliver tonnes of foam that was used to help fight the fire.

We recently attended a fire at a property in Hampton Wick. Luckily there were no casualties and the fire was extinguished quickly. Our home fire safety checker is a great tool to help you protect your home, you can find it here: london-fire.gov.uk/safety/the-hom…

Thanks to everyone who attended our open day at New Malden Fire station today! Great fun was had by all and we raised a whopping £572 for the Fire Fighters Charity!

It was a pleasure to welcome Ed Davey MP to our station this week! He took the time to meet our team, explore our fire vehicles, and even got a unique view of Kingston from our turntable ladder. We really enjoyed showing him around the station and chatting about our work

Congratulations to FF Bullen (right), who joins Surbiton green watch after successfully completing his initial training! Pictured here with Kingston Borough Commander Glen Nicolaides. Welcome to the team 🚒
