Today a multi agency exercise was held with Haverhill firefighters working alongside our colleagues from @EastEnglandAmb Service. Crews worked through complex scenarios adopting multi agency principles to ensure skills are maintained, knowledge is shared and we are always ready.

Today white watch crews from Ipswich East and Princes Street together with oncall colleagues joined the East of England Ambulance Service and Suffolk Constabulary for a multi-agency exercise to strengthen partnership working, share learning and ensure our skills remain current.

Crews are currently responding to a large field fire near Rattlesden Road in Drinkstone. Road closures are in place and crews are expected to remain on scene into the evening. Members of the public are advised to avoid the area. Hear more from Group Commander, Christopher May
