Hopefully no jobs today so Ginny can stay at home and play in the snow. If you're out and about driving please take care on the roads.

We're saddened to hear of the loss of one of our friends this week. When you work together for so long the loss is felt deeply. The thoughts of everyone @MidsDog are with Nikki and her family

Today we pay tribute to fire investigation dog Reqs, following his passing yesterday. Reqs, who retired in July 2023, was believed to have been one of Britain’s longest serving fire investigation dogs and is remembered as a dedicated and hard-working member of the team. 1/🧵
