#ThankYou for your support.

[Green Party NZ @NZGreens]

We stand firmly with firefighters striking today around NZ, and we’re calling on Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) to agree to improve the pay and conditions of our professional firefighters who are on the front line risking their health and life to protect NZers.

[John Roberts @FirefighterKiwi]

The truth & the solution lies somewhere in the middle.
#Health & #safety are also concerns for both career & #volunteer firefighters.

That’s the Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens that you can see on the right, photographed yesterday. It has stood for 2500 years - and it still stands for the moment.

Act now or lose everything.

This heatwave is a head and shoulders above anything we have seen before.

Adding events from today to the records that fell yesterday... The UK has broken almost every record possible and in many cases, by enormous margins.

THREAD 1. ‘What the hell just happened?’ - My partner (a 999 Fire Control supervisor) and I both used exactly the same phrase as we got home from work today. The true story of today will not become clear until incidents are debriefed, call and incident numbers are reconciled, and

Stay vigilant. Extrication brings its own inherent risks! We wish the injured firefighter a speedy and complete recovery.

You wouldn’t drink a stranger’s backwash, so why are we happy to breathe backwashed air? In an airborne pandemic where are the riskiest places to be? Results from our (unscientific) CO2 level survey & what an aerosol chemist thinks of them. #CovidCO2 https://t.co/5xDCrwWlHO

This isn't rationalisation of resources, or equitable distribution, this is excessive executive salaries in a top heavy organisation.
Firefighters underpaid, management overpaid. Support firefighters, the ones who rescue your #family from fires.

[Newshub Nation @NewshubNationNZ]

Our firefighters are defying their employer, Fire and Emergency NZ, by running a high-profile campaign alleging that bad management and understaffing will soon cost lives. Watch Simon Shepherd's full investigation #nationnz https://t.co/JKCZYy0PoT

Bitter sweet. Confirms what we know.

The potential for #fires like this is why #Onehunga & Ellerslie fire stations should never be under staffed. Look closely at the appliance door “Under Paid” & yet they still risk their lives.

Roadways are a #hazard for #firefighters.
Good traffic control in this #video.
Please slow down around #accident scenes.

This week is Firefighter Safety Stand Down where our department pauses to focus on situational awareness.

Today we want to remind drivers that we respond to a number of roadway incidents that require you to slow down and #moveover.

@NewsFlashNZ Shameful - when will FENZ management take responsibility for this, who is accountable to the public, that are paying for a service that they are not getting?

FENZ fails insurance levy payers & the community.

This video shows how fast Aerosolized flammable liquids can ignite. A lot going on in this video. The welder on the left side, the hydraulic line or fitting breaks in the top part. I was told this is a lathe for aluminum. That’s all the info I have
