Glittering on the side of the road, WS Transportation’s charismatic Scania S 650 V8 adds a touch of style to the cloudy afternoon.

Thanks to Alfie Winter-Burgess for this one. Have you been working on any unusual jobs in your #scania truck this week?

[Steve Healey @stevejhealey]

Today, our @HMICFRS inspection report is published. We have received OUTSTANDING in 6 areas and GOOD in the other 5. An amazing achievement and all down to our incredible staff, across the whole service. So proud of everyone. #TeamLFRS 🚒 Link to report: https://t.co/ZumYV0jSwe

Had a look round the first of 2 new command units on Friday. Amazing technology and fantastic work by the team. The 360 stem camera is brilliant. New command software being installed. Starlink Tesla satellite. Top spec workstations. JESIP briefing room. You name it, its got it!

[Tom Cookson @GM_Operational]

Watch this space, we will have our first Scania later this year 😄

[Tom Powell @tompowell_91]

We’ve taken delivery of the first new Command Unit! Final few fixes plus training before going ‘on the run’, with the second not far behind. An impressive vehicle & equally impressive work behind the scenes from multiple teams to deliver 👏 @LancashireFRS

Last night along the A303 isn’t the first time I’ve stopped to help someone get to safety. Back in June 2022 I was heading along the M42 and come across these two guys in there 60s who had broken down, in my eyes it was an accident waiting to happen.

My aim was to get them into the refuge area which was less than a 100 yards down the road. I managed to get the driver away from lane one and back into the drivers seat so he had control, the other guy suffered with his back and hip so fortunately I was there to take over. Again I got them to a point of safety where they can await breakdown assistance.

It’s random acts of kindness like this that go along way and I always think to myself if I was in that situation, I hope someone would help me. Also I would hate to hear about someone being seriously hurt or a fatality, especially if it’s something I’ve gone past and would have been able to help. I ain’t no superhero 🦸🏼‍♂️ but I hate to see people struggling!

Back in February this year I was invited by @NationalHways to share there latest campaign #KnowTheZones 🛣️

Now that we’re in Autumn 🍂 this campaign is just as important as any other time of the year, with the darker evenings and poor driving conditions.

What should you do when overtaking a HGV ?

- Move quickly and safely -

- Allow plenty of room when passing -

- Beware of spray and reduced visibility when passing -

Thank you to @NWarksCops 🚔

As you can see they currently have #OperationYard ongoing. This operation is purely focusing on theft from HGVs, so 🤞🏻 this will help to prevent and deter theft or even catch those who are involved in this crime 🚨

Remember the police can’t be everywhere but they are doing there best! My aim is to get safer parking 🔒 for us drivers up and down the country 🤞🏻

This Remembrance Sunday, we commemorate all those who have lost their lives serving in the Armed Forces in the two world wars and later conflicts.

We will remember them.

[National Highways @NationalHways]

Seen our campaign about HGVs?

Please don't linger in the areas where HGV drivers have limited visibility.

HGVs make up 9% of traffic on motorways and major A-roads and they're economically essential.

@CommercialKevin Stunning, craftsmanship and beyond with perfect attention to detail.

[Scania Group @ScaniaGroup]

Introducing the world's first CrewCab with the new Scania Super engine. This revolutionary pairing with the new Scania Super engine -- our most advanced and efficient combustion-engine powertrain ever built, sets a new standard for sustainable transport operations.

[Tom Cookson @GM_Operational]

@00Burt @JRDixonltd @DAFTrucksUK @CargobullUK @MotusDAF @DAF_trucks_fans @DAFTrucksNV Stunning, a lot of time and effort gone into that. You guys really do go the extra mile for the shows. 👍🏼

Been in for a few repairs and tweaks for Assen this weekend. Built in Sweden 🇸🇪 restored in Bothel 🇬🇧.

Really useful training day using @DiveCapernwray today for @LfrsDrone team training. We've been getting to grips with our brand new @deeptrekker underwater rescue capable ROV. SONAR is a different level compared to normal drone ops but we'll get there @stevejhealey @LancashireFRS

[LFRS Drone @LfrsDrone]

Welcome to our new addition to our arsenal. Our @deeptrekker pivot ROV. Expanding our underwater search and rescue capabilities, a first in the UK FRS. Incorporating sonar and high res camera, fitted with grabber for retrieval purposes.

[Tom Powell @tompowell_91]

Engagement visit Red Watch @Preston_Fire. Managed an hour before both 🚒 mobilised to a house 🔥, swiftly dealt with before finishing the conversations. Crews then assisted the prevention team set up for @LFRScadets pass out parade. Thanks for your time, work & discussions 👍
