Even @ a challenging multi-agency incident in Chesterfield this morning, Fire & all other responders made time to show our respect and acknowledge the tragic passing of FF Barry Martin

Why consider a career in the fire service…👉Yesterday Buxton Station hosted retired Firefighters, with some careers spanning back to the 1960’s. Shared experiences and a common bond across generations. You can understand why we refer to it as the ‘firefighting family’.🧑🚒👨🏽🚒

The moment Paul Sayles won the ‘Outstanding Contribution to Fire’ award. Quite the day after getting up at 5am to Milk his cows. Unbelievable commitment over nearly 40 years 👏👏

Dropped into a development session for DFRS NILOs this morning. Some great discussion on specialist incident deployment and response. Worth remembering the importance of the planning and preparation that supports effective incident response.

This morning I noticed that all the young trees have been snapped in half at my local park 😕 It actually takes a considerable effort to snap even a slender trunk - imagine what we could achieve if we all put such effort into conserving our planet as oppose to wrecking it 🤔

Great to see. This is a key time of year to promote awareness. Road conditions are changing at the moment and this wet weather presents extra hazards. DFRS are committed to working with partners and our communities to keep everyone safe on the roads 🚘🛵🚲🚛

21:41 Crews from @Kingswayfire attended a chimney on fire at a property on Lower Street, Doveridge. Crews used chimney rods to extinguish the fire. Advice was given to the occupiers. 🚒🔥

Excited to be hosting an On-Call WM conference at our Training Centre today. A really good opportunity to praise the great work going on across our communities, explain how DFRS is preparing for the challenges ahead and to just listen to the ideas of those who make it all work👏

Fires such as these present some of the most challenging conditions firefighters face, often day after day for weeks. These are not glamorous incidents, offering little to look at but can be devastating to the local environment and economy. A big 👍 to all who helped put this out

After a long 7 days the fire at #RakesMoss is now out. This video below gives you an insight into the difficult terrain our firefighters had to work with. This operation took a massive effort from multiple crews across @DerbyshireFRS & @manchesterfire

Ahead of #StormDennis we are asking people to consider their call before dialling 999. 📲 Non-emergency calls could prevent our control room from dealing with a real emergency.

We don’t just save dams, we help rebuild communities. Lots of great advice and support available to get people back on their feet. Firefighters care even when the blue lights are turned off
