At midday, we marked #FirefighterMemorialDay with flags at half mast at our HQ and a moment of silence to honour those who have been injured or died whilst serving their communities.
Today is also St Florian's Day - the patron saint of firefighters.
'If you are a female out there and you want to be a firefighter, you absolutely can'.
This International Women's Day, we salute our female employees who work tirelessly to make the West Midlands safer, stronger and healthier.
