@DerbyshireFRS Helen is dearly valued and appreciated in Derbyshire. It is so pleasuring to see that her commitment and dedication are now being recognised far wider. Go H 🙌
@Buxton_News A while ago I posted a rather sad pic of some young trees that had been vandalised. Today Buxton Fire & Police cadets are planting new trees🌲Firefighters & other Emergency Services put people and communities first, often doing good in ways you wouldn’t expect
Even @ a challenging multi-agency incident in Chesterfield this morning, Fire & all other responders made time to show our respect and acknowledge the tragic passing of FF Barry Martin
@FireDataGuy@BatteryFires Useful, I will ask @AMPhilClark for a an idea of the national picture. If it is charging related, then we perhaps have more to do in our Prevention/Protection work 👍
Why consider a career in the fire service…👉Yesterday Buxton Station hosted retired Firefighters, with some careers spanning back to the 1960’s. Shared experiences and a common bond across generations. You can understand why we refer to it as the ‘firefighting family’.🧑🚒👨🏽🚒
@DeanVickers7 Paul works at Crich. We have had long Serving firefighters and family connections at Duffield and many other OC stations. It part of the culture and role modelling that inspires the next generations 😊
The moment Paul Sayles won the ‘Outstanding Contribution to Fire’ award. Quite the day after getting up at 5am to Milk his cows. Unbelievable commitment over nearly 40 years 👏👏
@DerbyshireFRS Incredible achievement from Paul. He genuinely didn’t expect to win and I’m so pleased that his unassuming contribution has been recognised. A great example for us all.
@AllsopSimon Simon, thanks for all you have done for DFRS and me personally over the years. You have been a trusted colleague and a good friend. Your work has allowed us to deliver a very effective, value for money service to our communities. Good luck with your next chapter 👏⭐️
@carlyashby@DfrsNfrsControl Today I learnt that when judging a bake off, you shouldn’t try to eat normal size portions of each cake 🤦🏻 Great effort from all our amazing Control staff 👏 Not just life savers, also great bakers 🚒🍰
Dropped into a development session for DFRS NILOs this morning. Some great discussion on specialist incident deployment and response. Worth remembering the importance of the planning and preparation that supports effective incident response.
@DronfieldFire Thanks Dronfield. A great opportunity to discuss a challenging incident the crew faced during the recent heatwave. Valuable feedback and learning for me to consider in how we face future weather extremes. As a Sector we continue to adapt, evolve and provide an outstanding service
This morning I noticed that all the young trees have been snapped in half at my local park 😕 It actually takes a considerable effort to snap even a slender trunk - imagine what we could achieve if we all put such effort into conserving our planet as oppose to wrecking it 🤔
