Last night 5 of our staff who are part of the UK International Search and Rescue (ISAR) team headed out to #Morocco to support rescue efforts over there following the devastating earthquake.
Our team consists of Station Manager Martin Foran who is acting as Operations Commander. You might remember Martin from earlier this year when he travelled with the team we sent to Turkey following the earthquake on the Turkey-Syria border.
Martin is joined by Watch Manager Gavin Kearsley from Ashton Technical Response Unit, who will be a crew leader; Watch Managers John Hughes and Simon Cording from Leigh TRU, and Crew Manager Ross Strother from our Technical Training team, who will all be technicians over there.
They are being supported back in here by Watch Manager Mike Hirst who is coordinating our response and who you will also remember from the Turkey response in February.   

We will keep you as updated as we can on their rescue efforts ❤️🚒

A fantastic #manchesterpride2023 parade with @manchesterfire. The atmosphere was brilliant. What an amazing way to celebrate the diversity and inclusivity of our amazing city! 👏🏻👏🏻

Had a fantastic day at the #britishfirefighterchallenge enjoyed spending time with my fire family. It’s on again all day tomorrow. If you’re near by come along and cheer on our fantastic Firefighters!! @manchesterfire

[Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service @manchesterfire]

🌈With #ManchesterPride just around the corner we were on Canal Street yesterday showing bar and restaurant staff how to use reach poles and throw lines should anyone ever get into difficulty in the water.

We have reach poles at key places in the city centre near canals, call 999 and ask for fire. If you see someone in trouble in the water, tell them to float to live.

[Mike Clark @MikeClarkFire1]

🗣 "This was a well-seated fire and there are road closures in the area, so I'd ask the public to bear that in mind when travelling around Manchester today"

GMFRS Station Manager Tom Weate gives an update from the scene.
