@manchesterfire Congratulations, @CFODaveRussel . Amazing achievement.

Today, our Chief Fire Officer Dave Russel received the King’s Fire Service Medal at an event at Windsor Castle led by The Prince of Wales. Dave was awarded The King’s Fire Service Medal in the New Year's Honours and the award is the highest honour that fire service personnel can obtain. It is testament to his dedication to fire and rescue services and public safety, with over 30 years service for us and Lancashire and we're incredibly proud of him.

@skemfire A great station. Good luck with the move all 👍🏻👍🏻

A final farewell from the Day Crewing Plus watch. There will be some new faces protecting the community as we switch to the traditional 2-2-4 system with 24 members of staff comprising of four watches.

@WestMidsFire Terrible news. I watched Wayne speak at an AFSA conference- he was an inspirational and influential leader. Thought are with his family, friends and colleagues

At @edgehill with the @WastedLivesUk vehicle speaking about #RoadSafety and #StudentSafety

We are thrilled to have opened a new Fire Cadet unit at Skelmersdale Fire Station! Our Cadets will learn new skills and help out in the community over the next two years. A big welcome to all @LancashireFRS @UKFireCadets

Confined space operations combined with @metpoliceuk DVI team gaining access to some trapped patients, great to see @jesip999 working @FSCmoreton alongside #UKhart

In the final stages of the exercise now @FSCmoreton and there is one more obstacle to overcome!

☀️ Pulling into @skemfire station on this glorious day and noticing the important message above the station. Don’t be tempted to jump in open water, it’s colder than it looks- even if the weather is warm. 🚒 ☀️

Lancashire Police and other emergency services to take part in a live car crash demonstration called Alive To Drive on Blackpool Promenade trib.al/kSSK5gX

Incident: We currently have six fire engines and the aerial ladder platforms in attendance at a derelict building fire on George Street, Chorley. If you can see or smell smoke, please keep your windows and doors closed. Please avoid the area. lancsfirerescue.org.uk/derelict-build…

If you see someone struggling in the water, fight your instincts to get in. Call 999. Tell them to float. Throw something that floats. An estimated 236,000 lives are lost to drowning every year. In the UK 1,243 people have drowned in the last 5 years. #RespectTheWater

Basic skills drill with @TarletonFire last night at a local risk. Really great to see the professionalism of our on call crews 🚒

Great day at Tees Barrage today. CPD day for Flood Water Incident Managers, looking at incidents involving vehicles in water, hydrology and tactics as we continue to improve our response to #climateChange related incidents. Great insight and direction from @LfrsStc instructors

Only one more day to go until the on call recruitment window shuts. Have you completed your application? Start your new journey now! jobs.lancsfirerescue.org.uk/vacancies

Last week- wildfires 🔥 This week- flooding 💧 Fortunately, Firefighters in Lancashire are kitted out with wading equipment to aid our operational flood response. Today I attended this flooding with @Darwen_Fire FFs. @LancashireFRS #climatechange #flooding #wildfires

Pop down to meet the crew!

@LancashireFRS continued drive to invest in staff & resources certainly paid dividends at a large wildfire today. Specialist wildfire PPE is lightweight & supports ease of movement. Hagglund ATV’s are also brilliant at transporting people and water to the scene of Ops = win, win

There is a lot of confusion in the media about the role of the NILO and the other responders in BPPE at the incident today. NILOs are specialist advisors to the normal multi-agency command chain on their agencies operational capacity and capability to reduce risk and safely resolve incidents. This includes CT incident and other critical incidents.
