The Service lost one of its own yesterday. It is with deep regret we announce that our colleague, friend, and Watch Manager, Jon Partridge, sadly passed away yesterday after a medical emergency.
We are devastated and shocked at the tragic loss, and Jon will be greatly missed.

A busy day across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
Thankfully no lives lost, but sadly many affected by flooding and the aftermath
πππ are all still dealing with incidentβs as flood waters enter rivers.
Stay safe, donβt enter or drive in flood water!
Our crews have been busy today responding to multiple flooding incidents with 59 people rescued today from properties.
β οΈ Life at risk? Call 999
π Flooded home? Turn off electricity, gas & water
π§ Road closed? Find another route
β
Check on vulnerable neighbours

π§οΈ Some roads may still be affected by flooding. If flood water blocks your route, do not drive through it - it is often deeper than you think. Don't go around road closure signs, find an alternate route. If you get stuck and itβs an emergency, call 999 π orlo.uk/sHVQJ

Today at 10:00 @LeicsFireRescue switched over to our new @MotoSolutions and @3tcSoftware 999 call handling and mobilising system.
At 10:07 we received our first emergency call and mobilised to the incident without issue. A great project, well delivered ππππ

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

When you ring 999 and ask for the Fire Service you will get thought to our Control Room operators
This highly skilled and dedicated team will help you, get details and mobilise fire engines to you quickly. They are the very tip of the sharp end in an emergency @LFRSFireControl
