@MerseyFire Can I pass on any road violation (red light) tickets that are handed out to us? Especially when you had a whole free lane on the right of us and no traffic ahead before you insult us? #WallaseyCommunityFireStation

Teams are operating in challenging conditions in Mozambique, assisting people who remain isolated and difficult to access. Using local intelligence, specialist equipment and boat-based operations, teams are focused on life safety, moving people to assistance, and supporting the wider response. Delivered in close cooperation with local responders and agencies. Our thoughts are with all those affected. #UKISAR #Mozambique #FloodResponse #SearchAndRescue #HumanitarianResponse #LifeSafety @FCDOGovUK @UKinMozambique

Using specialist equipment, including drones, teams are supporting situational awareness by identifying isolated communities and individuals in need of assistance or rescue. This intelligence is then used to prioritise boat-based and ground operations, ensuring help is directed where it is needed most. These conditions remain challenging, but coordinated working, accurate information, and the right equipment are enabling responders to reach people who would otherwise remain cut off. Our thoughts remain with all those affected, and with the local responders continuing this work alongside international teams. #UKISAR #FloodResponse #SearchAndRescue #DronesForGood #MultiAgency #EmergencyResponse #LifeSafety @UKinMozambique @FCDOGovUK
