Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is responding to an increasing number of 999 calls relating to bonfires, barbecues and other potential fire risks.

With hot, dry conditions, fires can spread rapidly and put people, property and our countryside at serious risk. Recent wildfires in the New Forest have shown just how quickly a small fire can become a major incident.

🚨 Please only call 999 in a genuine fire emergency.

Call 999 immediately if:
🔥 You discover a fire
💨 Smoke or flames are visible
🏠 There is an immediate risk to life or property
🌲 A fire is spreading or is likely to spread

If you see a fire in the countryside, move to a safe location and call 999. Do not put yourself at risk trying to tackle a fire.

Please help us keep our communities, countryside and emergency services safe this summer.

From 25th July to 1st August 2026, cadets across the South East region had the amazing opportunity of attending the yearly camp, located in Hailsham.
This camp held a variety of activities ranging from banger racing to swimming, alongside completing grand prior subjects within the theme of being stranded on an island.
As always, this camp wouldn’t be possible without the support of our amazing adult volunteers, we thank every one of you who was apart of this experience and made it possible!

In honour of men’s mental health awareness month this June, read this poster to remind yourselves and others that it is okay for a man to speak up about their emotions and how they feel!
It’s vital that we reduce the stigma around men’s mental health; they feel just as well as everyone else!

⭐️Speak up, reduce stigma, be there for eachother.
⭐️Make the world a better place for everyone.
⭐️Remind eachother that you are not alone.

It's been a busy week for St John Ambulance Hampshire and Isle of Wight following the incredible honour of St John Ambulance being chosen as the Mayor of Wi******er's Chosen Charity for the year. 💚

On Wednesday, our County Comissioner, Fizz; County Fundraising and Priory Officer, Ian; and Cadet Sergeant Ryley attended the Wi******er City Council 827th Mayor Making Ceremony, where Ryley was offically appointed as the Mayor's Cadet for the next year.

Today, we were proud to attend the Mayor's Mattins Service at Wi******er Cathedral, where Ryley took part in the civic procession alongside local dignatries and community representatives. During this service, the County Commissioner took part in reading a prayer.

You can watch the full livestream of the service via the Wi******er Cathedral YouTube channel.
