[Scott Cameron @CM_ScottC]

Proud of @FirePenrith attending a flooding. Found a lady on her on own in her house that had been badly affected by burst pipes earlier in the week. Sat with her and calmed her down, sorted her a Christmas dinner and some gifts, then back for a welfare check later in the day.

Take no unnecessary journeys in this weather.. If you do need to use the roads be sure to take extra care and never enter floodwater, always find an alternative route.

Today marks 26 years since FF Fleur Lombard died aged 21 whilst fighting an arson fire in Bristol.
Fleur was the first woman firefighter to die in the line of duty in peacetime and my thoughts are with her family friends and colleagues. She will never be forgotten. #FleurLombard

[Jackson Kidd @JacksonKidd550]

Spent the evening crewing this command unit at a high rise exercise this week. Fantastic piece of @CumbriaFire kit that can be a massive asset to IC’s. Google maps, risk information & incident objectives up and being displayed within minutes of arriving.

[Scottish Emergency Photography @ScotsEVP]

I was very pleased to have managed to get some photographs of this @CumbriaFire Enhanced Logistical Support Unit based at @FirePenrith. Something different being based on a DAF LF chassis, however I’m a fan!
