Saddened to say - It’s become very apparent that when things go well, it’s all joy and praise. Yet….when things take a slightly different turn (MH), you become invisible. #justaname. Job security/safety? #invisible. Colleagues? #onlythosethatbother sorry state of affairs.

Northumberland Fire and Rescue Services and other emergency services are currently in attendance at an incident on the A69. The A69 is now closed from the Stamfordham turn off eastbound. Please avoid this area if possible.

Sharing the stage with winners. Words can’t describe how rewarding this feeling is. Caught off guard by the trainees with some powerful words on stage. Bottom lip crumbled. 10/10 demo. What a day. What a journey.

Great pictures and really enjoyed seeing everyone at lunch. The group are buzzing and really gelling as a team.

Day 13 was branded as “click” day opened by a squad run & paired casualty drag competition - the squad clicked with ladders - confined pitches. Effort - high intensity - and determination all day.

@NlandFRS @N_landCouncil #firefighter #fire #rescue #northumberland #training

[Steve Air @SteveAir_]

Day 12 - Introduction to ladders and the iconic 13.5 M ladder. Moving around with the ladder - developing into standard ladder drills.
New skills - and learning fast.
