Firefighters from Dewsbury are called to help David who is in his 80s. He needs urgent medical treatment, but paramedics can’t get into his house.

The Bradford team are called to reports of smoke in the basement of a block in the city centre. It turns out to be a faulty fire alarm system, but evidence of homeless people living there concerns Watch Commander Simon that next time, the fire could be real.

Back in Dewsbury, Crew Commander Asif heads out to check up on Christine, an elderly lady who lives alone and has been kept up all night by beeping smoke alarms. It’s also a chance for him to check on a vulnerable member of his community who’s been locked down for much of the last year by the Covid pandemic. Show less
