@frsa_uk It’s nothing short of miraculous that the On Call Fire and Rescue Service provision model has delivered for this long. The cost model and expectations do not align. Thank you to all those that serve and have served for doing everything to make it work. Time for funding changes
'Meet the crew'
Meet Firefighter Laura Thacker:
Laura is a Sister in A&E at the local Hospital. She has been a @SuffolkFire#Firefighter for almost 3 years.
When Laura is not working at the hospital, she's really to respond to fire calls at a moments notice.

NEW: our latest #DECONFBU research with @UCLan has found firefighters are far more likely to suffer and die from cancer and other diseases than the general public.
These findings show that the government and fire bosses can no longer deny this issue - we need action.
Some firefighters and control staff are left using foodbanks, despite the heroic work they do. Yet we're being offered a real terms pay cut. It's disgraceful.
It's #FairPayorFireStrike - this is our last resort.
Here's how to #VoteYes:
🔥destroys crops & buildings, machinery & vehicles, kills & destroys wildlife & their habitat & ruins livelihoods for individuals & businesses!
Do not light bonfires
Dispose of 🚬 safely
Be careful where you place BBQ’s
If fire is seen or suspected, call 999 immediately☎️
This is an X-ray of someone who was involved in an RTC - with their feet on the dash.
Just don’t. Ever.
Airbags deploy through a dash panel at 200 MPH.
Imagine your knees into your face at 200 MPH following an RTC - the end.
