ex fire service, now retiree, volunteer at Oxfam and as much time down the golf club as I can get away with. Still care about CO and fire safety

[Craig Drinkald @CCfrs]

Only 2 days until @KendalCalling 2024, oh yeah and my 26th wedding anniversary😂 can’t wait to celebrate singing along to the amazing @PaulHeatonSolo please give me and my lovely missus Sandy a wave 👋

[Craig Drinkald @CCfrs]

@officialcufc Absolutely heartbreaking better team for 80 mins. Just not our luck this season but let’s hope the 7500 faithful keep on for next season.

So proud of my little girl buying her first house, but these messages made me realise she’s still my little girl x

[Craig Drinkald @CCfrs]

Well the heatwave is over, now time to think about your heating system health before it affects your own health

[Utilita @UtilitaEnergy]

Protect your family from carbon monoxide this @GasSafetyWeek!

CO gas has no smell, taste, or colour - so make sure you know the 6 signs of carbon monoxide poisoning…

@joe_haustead @Reavill_Matt Awesome night as always with some great friends x and @Reavill_Matt 😂😂❤️

[Carlisle West Fire Station @FireCarlisle]

It’s been a tragic week for the city, and we’ll do all we can to stop it happening again. But the weather is nice and children are off school this week, so please watch this short video and show it to anyone who might be playing around water.

@Skagsy @TheSecretFF999 I disagree, but then that’s why I’m no longer in the FBU as the rank and file are expected to just listen and agree with the opinions of people like yourself, who haven’t been on a fire engine for over 20 years and frankly are out of touch.

[Craig Drinkald @CCfrs]

@JasonHannah3094 @stevejhealey @TheSecretFF999 I’m not

[Craig Drinkald @CCfrs]

@TheSecretFF999 3 is more than enough for 99% of incidents, we need to get over this whole moral dilemma rhetoric, if it’s not safe, don’t do it and wait for support to make it a safe system of work

[CO Research Trust @COResearchTrust]

Another tragic reminder that #CO does not discriminate. As the summer is approaching a timely reminder to take a portable #COalarm with you if you're travelling abroad. It could save you and your family.

The convoy team ready to embark on their next leg at Dover🚒⛴️🇺🇦

[Good Morning Britain @GMB]

A fleet of 20 decommissioned fire engines is preparing to travel from the UK to Ukraine.

The vehicles, which are carrying life-saving equipment and supplies, will be donated to the war-torn country.

＠KatyRickittITV reports from Liverpool where 8 fire engines are getting ready to set off.

[Craig Drinkald @CCfrs]

Amazing to be part of the #fireaid convoy this morning. Here we go to #Ukraine @NFCC_FireChiefs @CumbriaFire @MerseyFire @CheshireFire @GMB

@MartinGarrod3 @CumbriaFire @Brian_Steadman All down to my initial instructors Sir. Some other huge influences, Bev Bull the best firefighter I ever worked with and other good people on my way. It’s been an absolute blast

[Craig Drinkald @CCfrs]

Well that’s it, 30+ years over in a flash. Thank you ⁦@CumbriaFire⁩ and ⁦@Brian_Steadman⁩ for the opportunity and kind words/ pressies. My last tweet as a serving #firefighter still the best job in the world IMO. Stay safe 👍 AM Craig D aka CA010- out !
