Cambridgeshire Fire & Rescue Service

About us

We are responsible for delivering a fire and rescue service to the 820,000 people of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

We operate from 28 fire stations which vary in status from being staffed 24/7, 365 days a year, to being completely on-call, which means firefighters are on call day and night and are alerted to incidents by a pager. The Fire Service Headquarters is based in Huntingdon and houses the senior management team, the combined fire control room, central operational teams and many of our support staff, who work in a variety of roles to support frontline activity.

We are accountable to the Fire Authority and our responsibilities as an emergency service are set out in the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 and also the Civil Contingencies Act 2004.

There are three main strands to our emergency service role - prevention, protection and response.

Prevention

Although we are always available to respond if there is a fire, we want to stop fires from happening in the first place. Our community safety work is prioritised so that we help those most at risk of a fire in the home first. TheFire Safety in the Homesection of this website gives you advice on how you can stay safe from fire. A freeHome Fire Safety Checkmay be available to you - requests are prioritised according to individual risk. We are also proactive inarson preventionandroad safety, working closely with partner organisations to achieve reductions in these areas.

Protection

It's not just in the home where fire safety is important. All non-domestic premises by law must havefire risk assessmentscarried out by the owners or responsible person within that premises to ensure that any visitors, including staff, are as protected as they can be from fire and that they could evacuate safely if there was a fire. This is part of theFire Safety Orderand our role is to offer advice, ensure premises abide by the legislation and do all they can to limit the risk of fire.

Response

Our crews of highly trained firefighters are ready to respond in an instant. The county has a number of major trunk roads running through it, including the A1 and A14, and a large network of rural roads, so as well as responding to around 2,000 fires a year, we also attend around 500 road traffic collisions where our specialist skills and equipment are needed to free people trapped in wreckages. There are lots of other emergencies we respond to as well, from rescuing trapped people and animals, to chemical incidents and flooding. On our website, you canlearn more about the vehicles and equipment we use to deal with these different types of emergencies.

The Trust was created on July 1, 2006 and covers the six counties which make up the East of England - Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. The Trust provides a range of services, but is best known for the 999 emergency service.

Our diverse area is spread over about 7,500 square miles and contains a mix of rural, coastal and urban areas – from Watford to Wisbech and Cromer to Canvey island. Our services are tailored to meet the needs of each community's differing environmental and medical needs.

The Trust employs around 4,000 staff and 1,500 volunteers to deal with 912,474 calls every year. In addition the Trust handles more than one million non-emergency patient journeys to and from routine hospital appointments.

 We provide urgent and emergency medical care to people who call 999.

 Our dedicated and skilled staff work 365 days a year, 24 hours a day to make sure patients receive the best possible care.

In this section we highlight all of the services we provide to the public and the best way to use them.

999 Service

How to call 999

In a medical emergency you should stay calm and dial 999 or 112.

We will ask for some information, including:

• • • Details of what is wrong and what has happened
    • The exact location of the incident
    • The phone number you are calling from

You will also be asked to give some extra information, including:

• • • If you know it, the patient's age, sex and medical history;
    • Is the patient is conscious, breathing and if there is any bleeding or chest pain;
    • A description of the injury and how it happened.

If it is appropriate, an ambulance response will be dispatched immediately, but you will be asked to stay on the phone so that the ambulance call-taker can give you medical advice on how best to help the patient. This will not delay the ambulance response.

How to help us

There are a number of ways you can help the ambulance responder or crew before they arrive:

• • • If you are in the street, stay with the patient until the ambulance or rapid response vehicle arrives.Call back if their condition or location changes
    • If you are calling from home or work, get someone to open the doors and signal where the response is required
    • Lock away any family pets
    • If you can, write down the patient's GP's details and collect any medication they may need
    • Remember to stay calm - ambulance crews are there to help and violence towards them will not be tolerated.

There are also a number of things you can do to help ambulance responders in your area:

• • • Check that you house number or name is clearly visible from the roadside.
    • Be prepared and only dial 999 when you really need to

A traditional ambulance may not be the first vehicle to arrive on scene.It could be:

• • • A Community First Responder
    • A single crewed response vehicle with an emergency care practitioner, paramedic or emergency medical technician
    • An air ambulance
    • An emergency doctor

Sometimes the patient may not need hospital treatment and an ambulance vehicle will not arrive.

Do not hesitate to call 999 in the case of a genuine life-threatening emergency, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, unconsciousness or serious bleeding.

However, there are a number of other options for less seriously ill or injured people, including:

• • • Visiting your local pharmacy
    • Ring 111 for less urgent calls
    • Visiting your local GP or NHS walk-in centre

If you believe you need to go to hospital, can you get there by car, public transport or taxi? You will not be seen any quicker at the hospital if you arrive by ambulance.

If you dial 999 for a problem which is not a genuine emergency, then you could be delaying our response to someone who is suffering from a life-threatening condition.

 

NHS 111 Service             

NHS 111 service makes it easier for the public to access health care and information 24/7.

What is NHS 111?

NHS 111 is a telephone service. This service is provided in the east of England by a range of organisations, including the East of England Ambulance Service.

If you need urgent care there are only three numbers that you need to know:

• • • • • • • • • 999 for serious and life-threatening emergencies
                • your GP surgery for every-day illness and accident
                • 111 for advice, information and access to out of hours care.

When you call 111 you will be assessed, given advice and directed straightaway to the local service that can help you best – that could be an out-of-hours doctor, walk-in centre or urgent care centre, community nurse, emergency dentist or late opening chemist.

NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Calls from landlines and mobile phones are free. NHS 111 has replaced NHS Direct.

How does NHS 111 work?

Calling 111 will get you through to a team of fully trained call advisers, who are supported by experienced nurses. They will ask you questions to assess your symptoms, and give you the healthcare advice you need or direct you to the right local service.

The NHS 111 team will, where possible, book you an appointment or transfer you directly to the people you need to speak to.

They have a direct link to the ambulance service and if they think you need an ambulance, one will be sent just as quickly as if you had dialled 999.

When do you use NHS 111?

You should call 111 if:

• • • • • • • you need medical help soon, but it's not a 999 emergency;
            • you don't know who to call for medical help or you don't have a GP to call;
            • you think you need to go to A&E or another NHS urgent care service; or
            • you require health information or reassurance about what to do next.

Why should you use it?

When you need health care urgently, NHS 111 will direct you straightaway to the local service that can help you best.

NHS 111 can help us take the pressure off the 999 service and local A&E departments, so that they can focus on emergency cases.

Welcome

Kennett Primary School is a small village school, which offers a quality education in a caring and friendly atmosphere. This Victorian school has been at the heart of our community since 1865. Our school caters for children aged from four to eleven in four small classes with an average of 25 children per class. From here, most children transfer toSoham Village College.

The building has been extended over the years from one classroom to the present four; including a front office/reception with added security for the children.   Recent changes include the addition of the dedicated Early Years Reception Class - Saplings.  This is an eco friendly building with enclosed outdoor play area for our younger children.

We are particularly proud of the new eco-classroom (Saplings) opened in September 2012. It provides a bright classroom with an exciting outdoor learning area for the reception children, a large group room for extra teaching space and is home to our After School Club. There are three classrooms, a library, a kitchen, and office spaces in the main building. The connecting School House provides a small group room, kitchen,staffroom and further staff office space.

The school has a hard surface playground along with a large shady, wooded play areawhich has a variety of outdoor climbing, balancing and play equipment. For outdoor sports we use the Kennett playing fields which are just along the road. Visitors are often surprised at how much more space there is than first impressions might suggest!Parents and friends of the school have put many hours into raising funds for the spinney and play equipment. There is also an enclosed Foundation Stage play area for the keystage 1 class.

School History

There was no organised schooling at Kennett in the 18th century, or the early 19th. Although some of the poor wished to educate their children c. 1818 they had insufficient means. In 1841 there was a schoolmistress. In 1861 another dame school was attended by 13 boys aged from 3 to 11, and 29 girls aged from 5 to 14. In 1865 the rector William Godfrey paid £700 for the construction of a school. It was a single storeyed L-plan building, of knapped flint dressed with yellow and red gault brick. The schoolroom, 10 m. by 5 m., faced southwest, and a schoolhouse was attached. Between 1861 and 1881 the number of pupils doubled to c. 30, with the number of boys and girls being almost equal, and no mean difference in age. An uncertificated school mistress served from 1857 until 1875, and in 1891 there was a schoolmaster assisted by two mistresses.

In 1930, because of lack of funds, the church school passed under the control of the county council, and in 1937 the seniors were transferred to Chippenham school. In 1962 a modern extension was added to the school following the expansion of the village. Proposals to close the school after numbers had fallen to 26 in 1982 were defeated by the inhabitants of Kennett with help from the Small Schools National Association. In 1989 there were 49 pupils, two thirds of them coming from neighbouring parishes in Suffolk, particularly Kentford. In 2000 the school had 60 pupils and three full-time teachers.
