FBU general secretary @UnionSteveW is in Dorset & Wiltshire – visiting stations, speaking with members, and backing the campaign against proposals to close 8 fire stations. This isn’t just a local fight – it’s a national one to defend our fire and rescue service.

Firefighters are being exposed to toxic “forever chemicals” at work. PFAS is found in foam, fires and even our kit. They build up in the body and are linked to cancer. This has gone on for too long.
Fire Brigades Union@fbunational

Firefighters are significantly more likely to develop and die from cancer than the average worker. While the EU moves toward a blanket ban on all forever chemicals, PFAS is still present in UK firefighting equipment and PPE.

We have always said we will not know the whole truth about Hillsborough until we know the truth about Orgreave. Same police force. Same tactics. Five years earlier. We are grateful to the Government for delivering on its manifesto promise. 🙏🏻 theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

This long-overdue inquiry into Orgreave is a vital step towards justice. Miners who faced shocking violence deserve to have their voices heard & the full role of the state laid bare. Pardons & compensation must follow. The @fbunational stands proud in our solidarity - then and now. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

The mask slips. Reform UK can talk all it likes about being the “voice of workers”, but putting public sector unions “under review” tells you exactly who they are. That means attacking the organisations that defend pay, safety and conditions. And they’re open about going after public sector pensions too. Firefighters and other public servants won’t be fooled. @fbunational will expose Reform for what they are, and defend our members’ rights, jobs and pensions.

🚨 The fire service is in crisis after years of underfunding. Further cuts threaten services in Oxfordshire, Scotland, Dorset and Wiltshire, and Buckinghamshire. FBU members have had enough with sham consultations while firefighter jobs are axed and safety is compromised.

On this day, #WeRemember three firefighters. In 2005, Jeff Wornham and Michael Miller tragically lost their lives at the Harrow Court fire trying to save Nathalie Close. In 1992, Malcom Kirton died in the line of duty attending a fire at a carpet store in Lincolnshire.

Yesterday, we said our final goodbyes to our colleague and friend Watch Manager Andrew (Andy) Leyland. Colleagues from across our Service joined Andy’s family and friends for a funeral service to commemorate and remember his life. Andy was a Watch Manager at Atherton Community Fire Station and joined our Service in 1998 following his service with Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service from 1993.
