Join us for an exciting Open Day at Leigh Fire Station Sunday 28/7/24. Bring your family and friends for a fun-filled day Don't miss out on this amazing community event! ⁦@manchesterfire⁩ ⁦@TRU_Manchester⁩

Last night 5 of our staff who are part of the UK International Search and Rescue (ISAR) team headed out to #Morocco to support rescue efforts over there following the devastating earthquake. Our team consists of Station Manager Martin Foran who is acting as Operations Commander. You might remember Martin from earlier this year when he travelled with the team we sent to Turkey following the earthquake on the Turkey-Syria border. Martin is joined by Watch Manager Gavin Kearsley from Ashton Technical Response Unit, who will be a crew leader; Watch Managers John Hughes and Simon Cording from Leigh TRU, and Crew Manager Ross Strother from our Technical Training team, who will all be technicians over there. They are being supported back in here by Watch Manager Mike Hirst who is coordinating our response and who you will also remember from the Turkey response in February.    We will keep you as updated as we can on their rescue efforts ❤️🚒
