Tomorrow marks nine years since the Grenfell Tower fire. There is still no justice for the 72 people who lost their lives. We will remember the 72, stand with the bereaved, survivors and the Grenfell community, and renew our call for accountability. Tomorrow members of @fbunational will join the Silent Walk in solidarity. Join us if you can. Grenfell. Never forgotten. Justice delayed is justice denied. 💚 #Grenfell #GrenfellForeverInOurHearts

🎙️ NEW PODCAST | The 2026 Pay Offer Tam McFarlane sits down with FBU general secretary Steve Wright and assistant general secretary Ben Selby to discuss the 2026 pay offer, including NJC negotiations and pay reform. 🗳️ Electronic ballot: 15 June - 2 July

🚨🚨FBU responds to Dorset and Wiltshire Fire station closure proposals update 📣 The Fire Brigades Union welcomes signs that the FBU campaign to save Dorset and Wiltshire Fire Stations has forced decision-makers to think again about plans that would have reduced local fire cover. This progress has not come about by accident. It is the result of the Fire Brigades Union alongside local residents and community campaigners standing together and refusing to accept cuts to the fire and rescue service. While the proposal for a 12-month trial merger between Hamworthy and Poole fire stations is a recognition of the strength of local opposition, serious concerns remain. Questions around response times, firefighter safety, operational capacity and the long-term future of the station have yet to be properly answered. The FBU has consistently argued that fire and rescue services should be funded and organised around the needs of communities, not driven by cuts, cost-saving exercises or short-term budgets. Steve Wright, General Secretary of the Fire Brigades Union, said: "The campaign to defend Dorset and Wiltshire fire stations has shown the power of collective action. FBU members have organised and fought to challenge proposals that would have weakened fire cover in communities and they deserve enormous credit for bringing decision-makers back to the table." "While we welcome any move away from outright closure, there are still significant questions about these proposals. Firefighters and the public need clear assurances that emergency response standards, firefighter safety and operational effectiveness will not be compromised." "For too long, fire and rescue services have been expected to do more with less. Across the country, firefighters have seen the consequences of years of underinvestment and cuts. The answer is not to stretch already hard-working crews even further, but to properly fund our fire and rescue services so they can deliver the protection that every community deserves." "The FBU will continue to campaign for investment, for safe staffing, and for the high-quality fire and rescue service that workers and communities have every right to expect. Our fight for safer communities does not end here." The union will continue scrutinising the proposals and working with local politicians throughout the process to ensure that the interests of firefighters and the safety of the public remain the priority.

🚨 NEW | The Executive Council has voted to recommend FBU members accept the 2026 pay offer from the National Employers, a 3.8% increase to all Grey Book roles, effective 1 July 2026. The electronic ballot opens 15 June, closes 2 July. Have your say. Cast your vote. 🗳️

Rural communities will be hit hardest. These aren't savings, they're cuts that kill. Join us in Salisbury on 30 June and say no to frontline cuts. 📅 30th June | 📍 Salisbury City Hall | ⏰ 9 am

🔥 When your house is on fire, every second counts. Dorset & Wiltshire fire service already responds nearly 2 minutes slower than the national average. Now the fire authority wants to close 8 stations, axe 96 firefighter posts, and remove 8 fire engines.

Firefighters and the public are being put at risk. Austerity has gutted Scotland's fire service, and it's the same story across the UK. Whoever leads next must commit to more firefighters on the front line and real investment in public services. @UnionSteveW on #BBCPoliticsLive

Attended a memorial service in Bicester this evening, to remember our members Jennie and Martyn and also David Chester who we lost a year ago today. #WeRemember

An immense honour to address the @fbunational Annual Conference. For 40 years British firefighters have stood with Cuba. Whilst an illegal energy siege attempts to paralyse our nation, we are fighting back with renewable energy & resilience. Solidarity is a lifeline. Thank you.

.@UnionSteveW from the @fbunational says Keir Starmer needs to go & #BBCBreakfast asks him, who do you want to replace him? Steve stresses its about democracy and policies & says there needs to be a huge departure what we've seen over the past 2 years

The General Secretary was live on Channel 4 News tonight, speaking about what we need from a Labour leader - proper funding for the fire and rescue service and a Labour government that truly represents workers, including firefighters. As an affiliated union, we have a voice, we have a say, and we will continue making the case for policies that benefit working people and the communities we serve.
