Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service has received a "Good" rating in a new inspection report published today (June 17, 2026), marking significant progress after two years of modernisation efforts.

🚒 Inspectors have spent the past six months looking closely at Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service. Their report landed today, and it follows two years of big changes behind the scenes.

There's an extra £3 million going in this year too, with new vehicles, kit and station upgrades on the way.

Here's what the inspectors found 👇

June Don't struggle alone, reach out for help if you need to.

This June we continue to mark PTSD awareness month. Our thoughts go out to all of our 999 workers who battle with this condition on a daily basis, reliving multiple horrific incidents they have attended.

It is important to recognise if a loved one, friend or colleague is suffering through knowing the symptoms:
- re experiencing through flashbacks or nightmares
- physical symptoms such as sweating or trembling
- avoidance of places or talking about things
- withdrawal from friends, socialising and leisure
- Hyperarousal such as loss temper, being easily startled, being short tempered, not sleeping or difficulty concentrating.
- substance abuse
- self harm
- self destructive behaviour or risk taking
- other diagnosed conditions present such as depression
- misdiagnosing symptoms for other conditions such as chest pain, headache or stomach problems.

It's not a weakness to suffer from this condition
It's not a weakness to seek help You do not have to suffer alone
There is lots of help available
Tell a family member, friend or colleague how you feel
We are here to do what we can to help you - do reach out to us
You are not alone
