A pleasure to attend the On-Call Passing Out Parade for @cumbriafire courses 02/24, 04/24, and 01/25. A fantastic showcase of the skills these new recruits have developed, shared with their proud friends and families. Welcome to the fire family and to the unique spirit of Cumbria

The thoughts and prayers of everyone at CFRS are with the families of the two firefighters and a member of the public who sadly lost their lives in Oxfordshire. We are thinking of their colleagues, friends, crews who responded, and the two firefighters who were injured.

In a similar vein to last year,I’ll do my best to put some updates throughout @TheSpineRace journey. Not sure what state I’ll be the closer to the end I get so there’s no guarantee of quality content (as usual I hear you scream) but I’ll do my best.All for @mndassoc LETS DO THIS!

[Wllliam Watson @WllliamWatson]

What a fantastic day at Coniston fire station today, with the Young Fire Fighters course, made up with pupils from John Ruskin School. The passing out parade was excellent and well-attended by the families of the pupils. A huge thanks to everyone who helped on the course.

"We can't underestimate the commitment and dedication of our on-call firefighters."

That's TV spoke to @CumbriaFire about how they value the county's on-call volunteer firefighters.
