Research indicates that 136 firefighters - one in four - who were exposed to toxic smoke at Grenfell are now suffering from long term health disorders. Professor Anna Stec from the University of Central Lancashire emphasises the need for regular health monitoring. "Given that firefighting is classified as a carcinogenic occupation, introducing regular health monitoring for UK firefighters is essential."




Congratulations to Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service on winning the Healthier Firefighters Award for Excellence in Contaminants and Decontamination. This achievement highlights the leadership and dedication of FBU officials, reps, and members of @FBUTyneandWear, who’ve worked tirelessly to set new safety standards, raise awareness and get these improvements for firefighters. Their efforts will make firefighters safer and improve conditions across the service. More to do though, and @FBUTyneandWear with @fburegion3 will continue every day to make improvements and to make firefighters healthier and safer. twfire.gov.uk/news/tyne-and-… @Chris_SR_Cook @Wayne3940
