Geoff and Brian always remembered never forgotten. Thinking of you all who will be thinking of them.

@firefighters999 Never forgotten……

Today we remember two firefighters killed and 20 injured in an explosion at a fireworks factory in East Sussex in 2006. The blast that killed Brian Wembridge and Geoff Wicker was so loud it could be heard 12 miles away. Our thoughts are with all of those affected by the incident.

Our thoughts are with all of those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires. Read our full statement here: nfcc.org.uk/fire-chiefs-pa…

#Eastbourne Santa Sleigh is just about to head out (14 December at 6.45pm) for roughly an hour and a half or so to Langney Point, Sovereign Harbour South area! 🎅🎅🎅

@999HoveRoedean @EastSussexFRS @WestSussexFire Impressive group of new firefighters who will soon put their skils to work in the safeguarding of others. Significant credit to the instructors that have clearly invested significant time and effort in the running of a high quality course. Well done all.

Delighted to celebrate our on-call collegaues at their passing out parade today. It is a historic joint core skills course with colleagues in West Sussex. Huge congratulations to them, the trainers and their families. @CFOESFRS @EastSussexFRS @WestSussexFire

This Remembrance Sunday, we remember and honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We have attended local events and the Cenotaph to pay our respects. #NeverForget

@CFOESFRS @WFSUK1 Richly deserved as Dawn's contribution to fostering inclusive workplaces where difference is seen for the value it brings has postively impacted many over the years. Congratulations Dawn.

Careful not to lose your footing on your waterside stroll or run. Riverbanks and coastal paths can be unstable. Stick to proper pathways and keep clear of the edge. Safety tips: nfcc.org.uk/our-services/c… #BeWaterAware

@mattylloyd1925 @dougmarshall8 @999HoveRoedean A genuine privilege to spend the evening with one of our most respected watch managers who was a key leader that helped shape the ways of working in the city all those years ago which I will always be grateful for. A genuine authentic manager who will missed greatly. TY Graham.

Best wishes to Watch Manager Graham Turner who retires after 27 years Service at the end of the month, one of those characters who has left his mark, always calm, diligent and caring. Thankyou and best wishes for the next chapter @dougmarshall8 @999HoveRoedean

@CFOESFRS @dougmarshall8 @mattylloyd1925 @Pastie1976 @Al_Probyn @HeForShe .....And action we are taking and will continue to take as we want an inclusive environment for all our work colleagues to thrive in and we acknowledge we need to think differently through raising awareness of the experiences of others and then doing the obvious and decent thing.

Thank you to the incredible women I have known and share my life with.
