It has been a very busy morning at the Museum with Phoenix and his handler Fire Investigation Officer Jonathan Honeyman. And the Tollcross crew are onsite undertaking ropes exercises.

Today we bid a fond farewell to WC Sean Smith who retires from @fire_scot Fire Investigation, after more than 26 years service. We wish you the very best for your retirement Sean and all the best for the future!

A great example of why we recommend closing internal doors before you head to bed. Closed doors can help reduce the spread of fire and smoke, keeping your escape route free. Get our night time checklist here: rb.gy/8fe79a

Do not smoke, use naked flames or get near to anything which may cause a fire whilst wearing clothing or a bandage that has been in contact with emollient skin creams. More info: rb.gy/8fb78 Get the leaflet: rb.gy/exqviq

Last year many homes were evacuated within the community of Daviot, near Inverness, as wildfire threatened property and lives. If you live or work in an area at risk of wildfires, an escape plan is a must. Guidance can be found ➡️ow.ly/JB0y50QToIz #WildfirePrevention

Even with a couple of heavy showers yesterday was a fantastic day and we're back again today 11 to 4pm. The suns out at the moment lets hope it stays that way.
