@DerbyshireFRS Helen is dearly valued and appreciated in Derbyshire. It is so pleasuring to see that her commitment and dedication are now being recognised far wider. Go H 🙌

We're delighted to share that our Head of Safety and Risk Management, Helen Crampton, has received her MBE in a ceremony today. Helen was presented with her medal by King Charles in recognition of her services to safety. A huge congratulations, Helen Crampton MBE! 🎉

@AllsopSimon @Buxton_News @youthdfrs @DfrsPrevention Ludo wanted to be involved, although I’m not sure how well received his help was 🤔

@DCFORobTaylor @Buxton_News @youthdfrs @DfrsPrevention Have they got a new mascot Rob!?

@Buxton_News A while ago I posted a rather sad pic of some young trees that had been vandalised. Today Buxton Fire & Police cadets are planting new trees🌲Firefighters & other Emergency Services put people and communities first, often doing good in ways you wouldn’t expect

Even @ a challenging multi-agency incident in Chesterfield this morning, Fire & all other responders made time to show our respect and acknowledge the tragic passing of FF Barry Martin

@FireDataGuy @BatteryFires Useful, I will ask @AMPhilClark for a an idea of the national picture. If it is charging related, then we perhaps have more to do in our Prevention/Protection work 👍

@DCFORobTaylor I’d follow @BatteryFires , and get in touch with our Phil Clark who is trying to get the Uk picture. London data is available but I’m trying to have it added to IRS too. My impression is that most are related to bad charging practices.

Lithium ion battery failure. New Zealand. 😬

Why consider a career in the fire service…👉Yesterday Buxton Station hosted retired Firefighters, with some careers spanning back to the 1960’s. Shared experiences and a common bond across generations. You can understand why we refer to it as the ‘firefighting family’.🧑‍🚒👨🏽‍🚒

@DeanVickers7 Paul works at Crich. We have had long Serving firefighters and family connections at Duffield and many other OC stations. It part of the culture and role modelling that inspires the next generations 😊

@DCFORobTaylor Is this the retained firefighter from Duffield? The whole family over the years has been involved with the Fire Service hasn't it?

The moment Paul Sayles won the ‘Outstanding Contribution to Fire’ award. Quite the day after getting up at 5am to Milk his cows. Unbelievable commitment over nearly 40 years 👏👏

@DerbyshireFRS Incredible achievement from Paul. He genuinely didn’t expect to win and I’m so pleased that his unassuming contribution has been recognised. A great example for us all.

HUGE congratulations to Paul Sayles in this category! He's a huge credit to #TeamDFRS and this outstanding contribution underlines how important On-Call Firefighters are in keeping our communities safe 👏

@AllsopSimon Simon, thanks for all you have done for DFRS and me personally over the years. You have been a trusted colleague and a good friend. Your work has allowed us to deliver a very effective, value for money service to our communities. Good luck with your next chapter 👏⭐️

A privilege to have served Derbyshire for 11 years as I start my last day with Fire & Police. Worked with some great people; uniformed, support and members who I will never forget. All committed to doing their best for the communities of Derbyshire. #makingderbyshiresaferrogether

@SFRS_SHardiman If Carlsberg could make chief fire officers 🤔

@carlyashby @DfrsNfrsControl Today I learnt that when judging a bake off, you shouldn’t try to eat normal size portions of each cake 🤦🏻 Great effort from all our amazing Control staff 👏 Not just life savers, also great bakers 🚒🍰

So the jury is still out on the winner … @DCFORobTaylor came to cast his vote .. @DfrsNfrsControl … Winner to be announced soon… #controlbakeoff #InternationalControlRoomWeek #unsungheroes Over £250 raised so far for charity 👏🏻👏🏻 thank you

@DfrsNfrsControl @AlfretonFireStn Looks amazing, good effort all. Happy to lend my services if you need a second opinion on any of the cakes 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's #InternationalControlRoomWeek and we are having a #BakeOff. #Control_Red are up first with Pastry Day. @AlfretonFireStn #RedWatch have come to be our judges, crowning Amy's Treacle Tart the winner!

Dropped into a development session for DFRS NILOs this morning. Some great discussion on specialist incident deployment and response. Worth remembering the importance of the planning and preparation that supports effective incident response.

@DronfieldFire Thanks Dronfield. A great opportunity to discuss a challenging incident the crew faced during the recent heatwave. Valuable feedback and learning for me to consider in how we face future weather extremes. As a Sector we continue to adapt, evolve and provide an outstanding service

Just a few crew members short of a full house at drill last night which included a visit from @DCFORobTaylor

@mickwood @HighPeakBC Let me know the details and I will happily come and help 👏

This morning I noticed that all the young trees have been snapped in half at my local park 😕 It actually takes a considerable effort to snap even a slender trunk - imagine what we could achieve if we all put such effort into conserving our planet as oppose to wrecking it 🤔

@mickwood Hi Mick, this is Ashwood park in Buxton. Just off the A6.
