We’ve been at @OakwellNursery this morning showing all the children round the 🚒 and telling them what we do as firefighters.
All the children enjoyed themselves and asked plenty of questions!

We were delighted to see the amazing @SamuelLJackson at a call out recently.
Thankfully a false alarm. Needless to say, the crew were a bit star stuck when they realised who was in the room🤩🎥
Here’s a pic of some of the happy crew who were sent to a grass 🔥immediately after

After dealing with an incident, we got to meet Kyogo the puppy who was wondering what all the fuss was about.
Despite our best efforts, we couldn’t recruit him as a mascot 🐶

Battery operated candles are the safest way to light up spooky things at Halloween. 🎃
If you have naked flames around, ensure they are well away from anything that can burn including costumes that might catch fire.
We have more safety advice online 👉 ow.ly/cxpy50LhC3r

At our drill night this week our developing FFs undertook a BA exercise as part of their🔴&🟠Phase Assessments. We also used this as an opportunity for a FF to undertake the role of Incident Commander in prep for their Incident Command Assessment.
Brilliant effort put in by all👏🏻
