🔥 TRAINING SCENARIO 🔥

Our crews successfully rescued a casualty utilising new smoke hood equipment after navigating through a smoke-filled building putting their BA skills to the test supported by other firefighters!

Thermal imaging cameras help us to see through the smoke

[Fort William Fire Station @FortStation]

We carry smoke hoods on our fire appliances allowing crews to deploy these as a critical tool for casualty rescue enabling us to protect the wearer from harmful products in the air when moving them from “clean air” through smoke filled buildings to safety

In the event of an e-bike or e-scooter lithium-ion battery fire do not attempt to extinguish the fire. GET OUT, STAY OUT, CALL 999.

The fire can be ferocious, keep reigniting & be extremely difficult to extinguish.

If you regularly use emollients, it’s important not to sit or dry fabrics close to heaters and fireplaces. Fabrics even if washed will have flammable residue on them.

Drowning is a leading cause of child accidental death.

46% of drownings occur in the summer. This rises to 75% amongst 13–17 year olds.

I attended a challenging incident last night which was safely resolved using some innovative thinking! 🤔
Great multi agency response & collaboration from @FortStation @HMCoastguard @Scotambservice @scotambhelimed5 Well done all! 👏🏻

[Scottish Fire and Rescue Service – Your Safety @SFRSYourSafety]

Even in high summer, all waters around Scotland are cold enough to induce cold water shock. Cold water can affect your ability to swim & self-rescue.
