@abbdesmond Incredible! 💪

@spippytea A monumental achievement by the whole of West Mids Ambulance Services considering how insane things are. Great to get a win once in a while. Keep up the good work 💪

Fantastic RTC drill late into the night at BoA fire station on Monday. Introducing new firefighters to the Holmatro kit never gets old.

@abbdesmond @LFBBarnet Working with ambulance colleagues to help them gain entry is always a pleasure. Every firefighter likes to bring out the big red key. You do feel slightly guilty when you find them fast asleep after turning the door into splinters 🤣#bluelightfamily

@spippytea What you guys do is amazing! Never forget that. I don't think the role has ever been as challenging as it is right now. I can only imagine mental and physical strength paramedics all over the country draw upon every shift. Stay strong. #bluelightfamily

@DWFRSWareham @DWFireRescue Great photo guys. Sounds like it was quite an incident. Well done on all your hard work getting it under control 💪

[James Compton @FFHillClimb]

@Fire_Endo_999 Stunning photo! Hope you're keeping well.

If you’re going to @orbital_chat in Swindon today, then look out for a firefighter on a treadmill at @Asda! CM Dan Fry will be running a half marathon in fire kit from 11am as part of his fundraising for @firefighters999. To support Dan online, pls visit https://t.co/EowYTkox7Q

@mwmh999 @LondonFire @RDingvean @ffew85 @SevenoaksSings @MooseheadRFC @firefighters999 Goddammit guys! Thanks to you, there's a grown man in Bradford on Avon, sitting in his car at 0800 on a Wednesday morning, with tears running down his face. This is truly beautiful.

@Leonmcl88 Hopefully you can work out this insane thread of tweets and replies. I'm pretty new to this Twitter thing 😅

[James Compton @FFHillClimb]

@Leonmcl88 If you feel like a break I'd like to invite you down to Bradford-on-Avon, it's a little different to London, but a lovely place. Please don't feel obligated to reply, but I just wanted you to know there's a guy in Bradford on Avon rooting for you.

Your blue light brother

As it stands, we raised an incredible amount of money, and hopefully opened up discussion around mental health, within the emergency services and the local community.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so so much to everyone who donated and bought tickets.

Without the incredible support I've received, this event would have been a slightly mad guy, slowly walking up and down some hills for a few days.
