Grenfell shocked us all, but the UK still doesn’t take fire safety seriously

A big thank you to Shane for his time! 😀

We’re very excited to have a chapter in this on the fireguard.

Such an excellent collection, and wonderfully edited.

@Vicky_Holmes and I are thrilled to announce that our book Objects of Poverty: Material Culture in Britain from 1700 is now complete and with Bloomsbury. This is the first-ever edited collection devoted to the material culture of poverty and features many brilliant contributors.

Remembering AFS firefighter Solomon Belinsky who was fatally injured during the Leeds Blitz on 15 March 1941. Solly was based at Gipton fire station @OldFireStaLS9. Learn more about his contribution & visit his @fbunational red plaque: https://t.co/H5X11ggCfk

Very thought provoking - thanks Victor.

Now on to @reinarzhistory, on some of the excellent work by @BurnsHistory - looking at the use of shock tactics in burns prevention campaigns in post-1945 Britain.

Looking forward to this!

Author of recent #OpenAccess book Before Grenfell, Shane Ewen says fire does discriminate.

Read his latest piece in Public Sector Focus magazine, on how history teaches us that fire discriminates against the poor and vulnerable. @apublicsector

@FireSafety_Lan Thanks for all your hard work protecting the local community Davie - and for inspiring @KnowetopPrimary with the red plaque project. Sláinte!

[Lanarkshire Community Safety @FireSafety_Lan]

Joined by the legacy team (S1 pupils @DalzielHigh), we've spent the past two days with P7 pupils @KnowetopPrimary remembering and learning about the events that unfolded on that fateful day. We also took a trip to Motherwell Fire Station.
A great project to be part of- thank you!

[Lanarkshire Community Safety @FireSafety_Lan]

Last year marked the 60th anniversary of the death of Assistant Firemaster Stanley McIntosh and Station Officer Joseph Calderwood in a fire at Colville Steelworks, Motherwell. A year on and we've joined the Forged by Fire project once again to help commemorate them. @BurnsHistory
