DEFENCE FIRE AND RESCUE

Working smoke alarms save lives, but only if they’re in the right place. One on every level is an absolute minimum #FireKills #OneIsNotEnough

Yesterday saw #Gibraltar Airfield Fire and Rescue Service, supported by @RAF_Gib personnel, conduct a successful exercise on the airfield. This training is essential to ensure their skills remain sharp and they remain ready to react to any situation that could occur. @DFR_FIRE

New NFCC Chair announced: Mark Hardingham, Chair of NFCC’s Protection and Business Safety Committee – will take up the role in April 2021. Mark will succeed NFCC Chair Roy Wilsher, who has been in the role since NFCC was formed in April 2017. tinyurl.com/y3lugvdu

Absolutely not a ‘hero’, there are many who deserve this title (and definitely not me); but yes, it is harmless and may save a life; but will also help with essential research. So, PLEASE donate plasma if you can 👍🏻

Imagine going to your gym, put on your ski gear then get in the sauna & do your workout. That’s what it’s like for our firefighters when dealing with incidents in this type of heat. Whether it’s a house fire or cutting someone out of a crashed car it’s all avoidable. Take care.

I was sitting at the back garden playing with my son when i saw the monstrous #smoke plume hiding the sun. No #fire is the same. So many observations to take on board. One of the most aggressive #fires i have ever seen. A #wind driven ferocious #wildfire. #firefighter #cyprus

Following my COVID-19 experience back in April I am now regularly donating plasma as my antibodies are high enough to make a real difference in treatment and research. If YOU have suffered COVID-19 please visit @NHSBT and donate this “liquid gold” #NHSheroes

@cfo_dfr This is fantastic to hear, Joel. Thanks for all your life saving support, it's greatly appreciated 💛 - Leah

Great day at @FSCmoreton with @DFR_FIRE vehicle demonstrations

Another #fire knocked down today before it spreads further and vanish one of the most beautiful places in #Cyprus and which is my favorite #running area! A job well done to all the #Firefighters colleagues for tackling the blaze! #wildfires @DFR_FIRE

Last night, for the first time in my career, we finally managed to have an all-female fire engine!🚒🔥 I would love for all the work the @antarctic_fire Angels are doing to mean this is less rare in the future as women realise their full potential 👩🏼‍🚒🚒🔥@EmzieAlice @LouDS01 #OWET

The UK FRS is on standby to assist Lebanon following yesterday’s catastrophic explosions, resulting in at least 100 lives lost & thousands injured. NFCC is in talks with government and if requested to assist, a team could be mobilised within a few hours. tinyurl.com/yyo33nvr
