The crew at Dorchester Fire Station were called out more than 600 times in 2021.

The team attended 609 incidents across Dorset and across the border in neighbouring counties. This amounts to almost two incidents every day of the year.

A spokesman for Dorchester Fire Station said: "All of us at Dorchester 08 would like to wish you all a safe and happy new year.

"It's been a tough year for all, the ongoing Covid pandemic, changes to routines and lives. But everyone carries on as best they can.

"To be able to give this commitment to our community, we rely on and are very grateful to our families, employers who release us on a moment's notice, our friends and of course all the support we get from all of you.

"Here's to a better, safer new year."
