@jasavery Happy retirement mate and good luck for the next chapter 🚒🚒

After 30 years service I walked out of this door for the very last time. All gear stowed and now ready for the next adventure. Thanks to everyone for making it so enjoyable - it’s been a pleasure & a privilege. As someone once said “I have served, I will be of service.” JH out.

@HFRS_ACFO @northantsfire Congratulations Guv

Some exciting news from me! Delighted to be taking up the DCFO post in @northantsfire. Looking forward to the opportunity and of course the challenge.

Great first day with @Toronto_Fire, thank you to @ChiefPeggTFS and my new colleagues for the warm welcome! Also, thank you to everyone at the @cityoftoronto for the support, it is very much appreciated. Excited for the future!

@P_T_George @BucksNHS @firefighters999 Guv I'm shocked to read this but very glad to see you are on the mend. Take care Boss

Exactly a week ago I had a stroke caused by a blood clot on my brain. I'm out of hospital now & so grateful for the care & professionalism I've received from @BucksNHS. My strength and movement is slowly improving each day. Weeks of physio ahead, plus help from @firefighters999

@SteveApterQFSM Have a great round Boss P.S I want one of those bags!

Good morning x

@NoContextBrits The black pudding...

You have to lose one item. What is it?

Day 5, Our journey is done, convoy has come to rest in its final destination before handover. Fantastic effort by everyone involved. It's been an absolute pleasure to lead this convoy. You should all be very PROUD @NFCC_FireChiefs @FIRE_AID_UK @UK_ISAR_TEAM @FireResilience

Day 4, Leading the convoy on its final leg to Ukraine. Over 300 miles to cover today, then the all important handover. Convoy number 4 crew can then stand down for some well deserved R&R. @NFCC_FireChiefs @FIRE_AID_UK @UK_ISAR_TEAM @FireResilience

Day 3, Leading the convoy on the road to Ukraine, a very early start and hundreds of miles to cover today. Fantastic team effort of people involved both here and back in the UK to make this possible. Be very proud @NFCC_FireChiefs @FIRE_AID_UK @UK_ISAR_TEAM @FireResilience

@StevenageBlues I am indeed, that was a really nice wagon, with a top crew.

@999pac Bet your missing the Hertfordshire rolls Royce!!

I'm really proud to be leading this convoy and group of fantastic volunteer firefighters

@karlclif999 Thanks mate

Nice one Paul!!

@NFCC_FireChiefs @UK_ISAR_TEAM Absolutely, what a great example of collaborative working across the board.

@999pac @UK_ISAR_TEAM The work by UKISAR and National Resilience across all four convoys has been amazing!

Not forgetting @UK_ISAR_TEAM who assisted at every level form Convoy leadership, logistical coordination, manifests, sorting, packing and loading of the vehicles.

Day 2 Leading the convoy and we are making good progress. Great team of firefighters along for the ride, without them and the support of their FRS and the donations of fire trucks, firefighting equipment to Fire Aid this wouldn't be possible. @NFCC_FireChiefs @FIRE_AID_UK

The 4th FRS convoy is now on its way to Ukraine, providing vital life-saving equipment to firefighters in Ukraine. This means the UK FRS and the fire sector have now donated 69 fire appliances and thousands of items of life-saving kit and equipment. bit.ly/3rEvZJo 🚒 👏

@ribtrainer @CFOESFRS @SFRS_atm @shropsfire Cheers Phil xx

@CFOESFRS @ribtrainer @SFRS_atm @shropsfire It was a pleasure to meet you this morning and thanks for sharing a few words with the convoy team of volunteers. I'm glad you got to join the convoy down to Dover. Thanks again for your support.

@ribtrainer @BluemonkeyBoy67 No mate it's not, mine have high gloss on the red and blue. I might start making them as they are selling for £275 each
