Last week, Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service welcomed crews from across the UK to Simonside Hills for specialist wildfire training. The irony? It was pouring down! Watch the video to see the training in action and learn how you can help prevent wildfires! 🚒

The Leader of the County Council has thanked all those teams and organisations who helped support communities during #StormEowyn and its aftermath over recent days. It was a real team effort. 👏

It's the end of week one of our on-call trainee breathing apparatus course. At the start of the week our Chief and Deputy Chief Fire Officers spoke to the trainees and provided them with support and encouragement during this crucial phase of training.

@theexpedleader A special night and a privilege to have played a small part in such a worthy recognition of service to communities.

A great evening spent with the ‘chiefs’ last night @graeme_binning #mountainrescue #volunteer

Today seven on-call firefighters passed the breathing apparatus phase of training. They were presented with their certificates & firefighter rank markings. Area manager Joe Haustead thanked them for their time & efforts, and wished them well as they join their on-call stations.

@NFRS_DCFO @northantsfire Congratulations Simon.

Some exciting personal news for me. Leaving @northantsfire will be hard, whilst we have had some tough times, the service is in a really great place now. WMFS has also been in an uncertain time and I'm determined to help them stabilise and showcase all the amazing things they do.

This is fitting recognition of incredible service, professionalism and energy in responding to a vast and varied range of emergencies. Congratulations from everyone @NlandFRS
