Crews have just rescued some ducklings that had been washed into a culvert at the Vale lake, safely returned to mother duckling #notjustfires@WestMidsFire
Please be advised we are carrying out a joint training exercise @unibirmingham on The Vale so don't be alarmed if you see a number of fire engines, this will be from approx 1030-1400
A big warm welcome to all the Freshers moving into the @unibirmingham halls today, hopefully we'll see you at some events while you're here but please remember to #watchwhatyouheat and eyes off the phone when crossing the road.
Blue watch are out reminding all pedestrians at some of our busy junctions to look up away from their mobile devices.
Please be aware of your surroundings including cars, scooters & bikes. @WestMidsFire@SWMFireControl
The last few days at the station have shown how varied the role of a firefighter is, from large fires to community events and then continuous training #notjustfires
Always be extra careful around water, and teach your children to be, too.
๐จ Never enter the water to try to save someone โ you could suffer from cold water shock yourself, leaving you unable to help even if youโre a strong swimmer.
