Firefighters from Kenilworth were called to over 70 emergency calls on Friday (October 20) due to Storm Babet.

Kenilworth Fire Station said it was an "extremely busy day" due to a "large volume" of flooding calls.

The on-call Firefighters from Kenilworth were first alerted to standby on station at 10am due to rising river levels in the town and surrounding areas.

"Throughout the day over 70 emergency calls for help were received and on-call and wholetime crews from around the service responded to over 40 emergencies, rescued numerous people marooned in flood water and assisted residents whose properties were flooding," a station spokesperson said.

"The Kenilworth crew returned to station just after 6pm after responding to numerous incidents across the county, including one at the Kenilworth Ford.

"We also provide strategic fire cover to other stations in the south of the county."
