On this page you will find a summary of the messages of thanks we have received in 2025.

January

To Bridlington Fire Station: Thank you to the three officers who fitted two smoke alarms as the ones I had kept giving the alarm. They came very quickly and sorted them out.

To Barton Fire Station: Hi, I just wanted to say thank you and let you know how grateful I was to the three lads that attended me from Barton Station. Due to illness my legs are very weak and I had fallen and did not have the strength to get back up. I had laid on the floor over two hours but crews arrived 15 minutes after a phone call was made to them. I was so relieved when they came through the door. They treated me with so much compassion and respect and even though I had fallen in a confined space they were carefully able to move me a little then two of them lifted me to my feet and held me steady for a few minutes then helped me to my chair. They had a brilliant attitude and did a superb job. Thank you again.

To Bransholme Fire Station: I would like to take a moment to commend Dean Walker and his team for their outstanding work in supporting a gentleman who was experiencing a significant mental health crisis. The individual was in a state where he felt suicidal, and the crews went above and beyond to assist him. They took the time to listen to his calls, responded with empathy, and demonstrated great skill in calming him down. Their actions not only provided immediate comfort but also helped to keep his mind occupied until the crisis team was able to follow up and provide further support. Such dedication and professionalism make a real difference in moments of crisis, and I believe they deserve recognition for their commitment to the well-being of those in need.

To Withernsea Fire Station: Just say a huge thank you for your attendance. A man came to sort us out and got an engine to our flooded house to pump water from a nearby field and left us safe.

I would like to pass on my thanks and gratitude to everyone from Pocklington Fire Station who attended to rescue my horse from the ice on Sunday 12 January. The crews were very patient and considered in their approach and the manner they dealt with the situation treating my horse, myself and my partner with respect, care and empathy was incredible. I am astounded by the care and support that was given and will be eternally grateful to each and every member of the crews who attended. I truly cannot thank everyone enough.

To Control and Brough Fire Station, many many thanks to the crew who came to check on my CO2 levels, you are doing a great job and keep it up, they turned up so quickly.

Just wanted to say thank you to Jody & Connor from the Falls Team. They quickly responded to my mother who had a fall at home. They arrived and treated her with so much dignity and respect and got her back to her feet. They are an absolute credit to your service! Thank you once again!

To Withernsea Fire Station, To those who visited Foundation Stage at Withernsea Primary School on Wednesday 22 January 2025, on behalf on the school we would just like to say a huge thank you to the firefighters who attended with the fire engine. The children had such a fantastic experience exploring the fire engine, taking turns to sit inside the fire engine and using the hose to spray water everywhere! The children asked lots of really important questions, which links to our current topic of ‘People who help us’. The children even went home and shared their experiences with their families and some children now want to be firefighters when they grow up! Thank you for giving this opportunity to our children!

To Prevention and Hornsea Fire Station, to those who gave a presentations and let the kids see the fire engine, thank you! Everyone loved the visit and we cannot thank Humberside Fire and Rescue enough for your time today. Your team was amazing.

February

Knight Rugby Club would like to say a special thank you to everyone who was involved with the academies session yesterday! It was awesome.
