@TashaaStarkeey were you at a fire near Waterloo last night? I was one of the LFB incident commanders

@kingtimbo1 Yup I’d take a few for sure. How much? Always tricky as I’m sure they are not a scaled production run! £20?

To those training Firefighters or Firefighters in training or even Firefighters on station if you had a small scale model of a 13.5m ladder would you find it a useful training aid to teach/learn/practise with. I’ve had one made for me to help teach. How much would you pay for it?

@adamjohn393 It all very much depends on which prop you are on. I don’t think there is a method it just seems natural when you have to push and pull. I know that doesn’t help and what comes naturally to me isn’t the same for everyone.

@kingtimbo1 I think this would be a good idea! I’d be interested if you’re getting any more?

@stackofire Ha Firefighting is a serious game. It needs serious teaching aids

@adamjohn393 Are you talking about a confined space/turning drill?

@kingtimbo1 What’s a good method to remember when to push or pull whilst holding the poles? Thanks

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.

Hmmm if only there was something invented that could stop flames trapping Firefighters and push back or even extinguish flames. That would be a real game changer for firefighters.

WATCH: Ocean City, NJ firefighter emerges from flames & smoke on 2nd floor front deck & waves desperately for a ladder as flames spread around him today at 16th Street & West Avenue corner home. Video from Jane Davis, who says ”Neighbors had a propane grill on deck & tank blew.”

Completed it mate! 😎 Midnight solo Pen-y-Fan ascent with 52lbs in atrocious weather, then a basha camp on the exposed summit in howling wind, fog and sideways rain, followed by a yomp today being battered by more rain and even hail. Happy times! 😀

@DutyFire Ever heard of an ‘air lock’? And I think you are comparing apples with pairs. But it’s just my opinion and doesn’t mean I’m right or wrong

@kingtimbo1 You are supposed to be a professional and you are not going to accidentally set the pump to 15Bar. If by “accidental” we are not going to add ergonomics to the job, then do not enter a fire, in case you accidentally trip and drop your mask 🤷🏼‍♂️
