Devon & Somerset Fire Service
Regarding your question - no connection with the fire service other than the fact that I live in Somerset. I made the change because I saw an announcement that the two brigades were merging. I have an interest in keeping local articles updated so thought I'd make the change. --Cheesy Mike 01:30, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I like the additions you have made to the page. I made some small style tweaks, I hope you don't mind. b.t.w a full list of Devon & Somerset appliances can be found online if you also want to add to the list of appliances in Somerset. --Cheesy Mike 11:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

City of London
Thanks for your addition to the City of London article regarding the fire brigade. Can I just mention that the City of London is not a London borough. Greater London consists of thirty two, not thirty three, London boroughs and the City of London. Just a little local government anomaly/trivia really. I've edited your addition to the City's article accordingly. David (talk) 22:52, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Devon & Somerset Fire Service
hi where do you get your info from for Devon & Somerset Fire Service.


 * A combination of places - my own knowledge; I used to work for the Service up until last year -the DSFRS website - and other various sources. I am assuming, as you have left no name or Wiki login, you are referrring to Lundy Island and how many fire strations DSFRS operate. Lundy bears (85) as its station number - only since June 9th has Luncy become an official fire station. I was unaware of this until today - if any changes had been sourced and quoted I wouldnt have changed it. --Samiddon (talk) 18:12, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

hi where do you get the station numbers and what appliances the station have got
 * Combination of the DSFRS website and my personal knowledge. --Samiddon (talk) 20:55, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

hi i got the Reserve Appliances from a link that says:A full list of Devon and Somerset's front-line and special appliances can be found here. can you get the call sign for the High Volume Pump. thanks


 * I'll see what I can do - there are several call signs for them; there are different modules and pods for different tasks. Leave it with me. Where does your interest come from?? --Samiddon (talk) 12:39, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

where did you delete the call signs????? --Wrcf1 (talk) 18:30, 11 December 2008 (UTC) Hi can you find out what the call signs are for the Emergency Response Unit vehicle for Co-responder. And where did you find out what fire station are Co-responder stations. thanks --Wrcf1 (talk) 18:11, 09 November 2008 (UTC)

thanks for getting the pictrue of the High Volume Pump. thanks --Wrcf1 (talk) 19:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

i dont know i will undo it sorry. do u know the call sign yet for the Emergency Response Unit. --Wrcf1 (talk) 19:18, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

where did you delete the call signs????? i dont see whats wrong with them --Wrcf1 (talk) 17:22, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Station 59 - Service Headquarters
hi how do you know it is 59 and it is wholetime olny Wrcf1 (talk) 19:42, 25 March 2009 (UTC

It isn't wholetime only; it is crewed by personnel from wholetime and retained stations. I know it is station 59 from my time working in Control - although it never used to be classed as a station. I think it is now because they have a purpose built USAR base there.Squirrel684 (talk) 19:58, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi someone has said in the USAR section that the station no is 60. i have seen somewhere that it is 60 to??--Wrcf1 11:59, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Kingsbridge
hi no i have not i will try to find out. Ivybridge would be a good place for it but they have got 3 pumps so not much crew. Moretonhampstead are getting a Emergency Co-Responder Unit it would be a good place for a specialist rescue vehicle in south devon because it is in the middle of the A30/A38. Wrcf1 (talk) 19:50, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi found out today they have not got one. Wrcf1 (talk) 19:50, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

fire Appliances
Hi what is going with this Possibly unfree File with all the pics in the fire Appliances section. i find it a bit weird because User:TimTay said it is unnecessary it looks like he is trying to delete the pictures for the section. what do you think?? Wrcf1 (talk) 19:18, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * He is correct in what he says though - the images do not comply with Wikipedia image guidelines; something I have overlooked. I will approach someone I know with some photos.Squirrel684 (talk) 20:53, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok I will try and get some too.--Wrcf1 06:24, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Kent fire and rescue service
Hi,

You altered my edit to say Dartford fire station has 2 water tenders and a water tender rescue ladder, this is incorrect. It has one water tender and one water tender rescue ladder.

I believe you read this on the appliance list from the website, however this is innacurate, as it lists some appliances as 'reserve', then lists some that are reserves just as 'pump'.

Regards Nige

Avon fire and rescue service
Hi Can you tell me why you have removed info that i added that is usefull for the Avon fire and rescue page

Hi Samiddon, just out of interest, how much actual knowledge of Avon Fire do you have (e.g. personal knowledge which isn't written down)?

 * How do you measure knowledge? Check out the Wikipedia policy on original research - WP:OR Samiddon (talk) 22:55, 28 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Very good question! I am not trying to start any arguments by the way.  It is just that I can't source proper references (which is what Wikipedia is about).  Avonfire (talk) 23:12, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Image transfer
Hi Squirrel684

A bot will tell you in time but I didn't want an impersonal bot to be the first to tell you. Your image File:Snow February 2009 M5.jpg has now been transfered to Wikimedia Commons and can now be found as. It can still be used in exactly the same way as images here with the added advantage it can also be used by any sister wikis that needs an image on the subject and reduces the number of images loaded to en:wiki. If you are happy to continue releasing images under GDFL, why not consider loading directly to Commons, the process is pretty much the same and with SUL you will probably already have an account at Commons.KTo288 (talk) 18:29, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Infobox UK Fire and Rescue
Hello! I wanted to chat with you about the Infobox UK Fire and Rescue. A quick look at the history of that template shows that you were a major contributor. There is currently an ongoing conversation about merging this template with that of Infobox fire department. Consensus seems to be leaning in favor of merging and I wanted to chat with you about it. My main question for you is do you feel that Infobox fire department has the necessary fields or do you feel that it is missing things that should be added IF it is to be used instead of Infobox UK Fire and Rescue? I am very familiar with the fire service, but as a resident of the US, I have only been focused on departments in the US. My main concern is WP:WORLDVIEW... I KNOW that I have a certain bias towards the US because I am a US resident. So just want to make sure that this template truly is usable world wide. Any feedback you have would be most appreciated. Thanks so much and hope you are having a great day! --Zackmann08 (talk) 18:49, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:LargeMan4x2.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:LargeMan4x2.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add permission pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
