Impressed by the tone and comments of @WestMidsFire chief executive Oliver Lee during a press conference he called earlier to defend vs claims the service is 'scandal ridden'...he felt a tragedy had been used to have a dig at a service he says is 'hurting' but moving forward /1
Amazing @WestMidsFire carol service 2023. Every part of it was absolutely perfect, from readings, the nativity play, @WMFSBand and many many more things. Thanks to @WMFSLadywood for attending. #carolservice

This #RemembranceSunday, we will be represented at more than 25 parades across the West Midlands.
7 years ago today, the team from @GeorgiesGift reached the summit of Kilimanjaro raising £125000 for the charity on the way. #memories an annual reminder that life is precious 💕 and not to ever take it for granted.
Looking forward to some interesting presentations at the #NFCCAutumn Conference over the next two days. Great to see so many colleagues from up and down the Country, and even some from overseas, sharing International best practice.
Whilst the circumstances around this incident remain a tragedy beyond words, it’s pleasing to see our brave firefighters recognised for their heroic actions in sub zero temperatures. They did all they could to try and save the boys, and we’re all proud of them for their efforts
Several of our firefighters have been honoured with Chief Fire Officer’s commendations.
They include those who responded to Babbs Mill Lake, Kingshurst in December, for their attempts to save four boys who fell through ice.

Proud of our colleagues in @UK_ISAR_TEAM@WMFSISARTeam who are always ready at a moments notice to support the International efforts. My thoughts are with the communities affected. Wishing the responders a safe and successful deployment 🙏🏼
Members of our staff are among those from UK fire and rescue services deployed to #Morocco.
