Love this
How to motivate your team on the hottest day of the year (so far). Scenario. All the ice cream have fallen onto a ledge and need rescuing. Can you set up the rope systems quickly and safely so they're aren't melted when you safely retrieve them?

RTC drills today with our ambulance colleagues getting involved so both @HantsIOW_fire and Ambulance crews can learn together and firm bonds over interagency relations. More combined drills in the pipeline covering many typical joint response emergency incidents to #MakeLifeSafer

Really great day with former England international @GeorgeKruis from @fourfiveuk exploring the impacts that poor hydration have on cognitive functions and it will be detrimental to our teams. Thanks to #FourFive for loaning George to us…. I think we looked after him 🙌🏻🔥🚒
