Over the last two days the Lancashire Drone Team has been assisting our colleagues in @manchesterfire and @WYFRS at a large Wildfire near Littleborough. The Drone offers excellent situational awareness for Incident commanders on fire spread, smoke plume and firefighter safety.

Being a European today basically means having a pretty excellent day until around 5 pm when the White House starts posting the dumbest shit you've ever had the misfortune to read.
Every. Damn. Day.

Today the drone team were mobilised to a fire involving a wind turbine in Trawden. The Turbine was well alight on our arrival, due to a stiff breeze our large drone was used to monitor the fire and offer situational awareness to the Incident Commander.

We’re aware of some online rumours, to clarify, no flags were harmed during the CCTV installation.
The photo shows officers fitting a camera at a local church after vandalism reports. The flag stayed put.
Please share to help stop misinformation and keep the facts flying high.

No time to investigate car crime or burglaries though ☠️☠️🏴🏴 #police
Community note
The Police have confirmed that they were installing a security camera in response to a Church that had been subject to recent criminal damage, and that the flag was not removed.
x.com/cumbriapolice/…
Mapping shows that this is a Christian Church, likely Church of England.

Today we published our latest inspection of @CumbriaFire.
The service has improved how it identifies risk and how it works with the community, but it still needs to improve its IT system and workforce planning.

Grenfell Uncovered is a hard watch.
The injustice for the people who died and those affected is horrendous. It says a lot when Eric Pickles was put in the Lords and not prison. It sums up the attitude of the decision makers towards the victims.
