A great example of our employees & The Service recognising the importance of @BritishSignBSL & how it supports us being an inclusive employer & organisation supporting employees & the diverse communities of Derby & Derbyshire #MakingDerbyshireSaferTogether
Great news! DFRS have enrolled 12 staff on a BSL course, including several of our CSOโs and so we fully welcome this Act as the right way forward! Weโll have more than 50 of our staff enrolled in the coming weeks, demonstrating that commitment.
A man has been jailed for five years for setting fire to his flat in Brimington, #Chesterfield, and putting others in danger. Read more here: https://t.co/Tt4RQ6h0DZ
A great couple of days talking to our staff, exchanging ideas, setting the scene for challenges & influences on the work of the fire and rescue service in the future. Great engagement and fantastic to be getting back to normal. #TeamDFRS
Today we are saying a very fond farewell to our Deputy Chief Fire Officer Rick Roberts who is retiring after a long and successful career which began in @cambsfrs in 1994 before transferring to Derbyshire in 1999. Good luck & happy retirement Rick from everyone at #TeamDFRS
Lots of us think a garden fire is a great way to get rid of the rubbish we don't want anymore, but it can be very dangerous.

Another great piece of work by our department. Graphics and Comms team working with @DfrsPrevention colleagues & partners at @unitedutilities to design, wrap and launch the vehicles to raise awareness of deliberate fires! @FleetIDLimited
We're delighted to unveil two wrapped community Safety Vehicles with our partner @unitedutilities that will help raise awareness of the FireStoppers initiative and help prevent fires on Moorland across our county๐https://t.co/7LvqOPVGvt
Mr Donald Rose, 106 years young, has served in the 7th Armoured infantry across N Africa, Europe and Middle East, awarded the French Medal of Honour, in his bucket list was to ride in a fire engine. It was our honour @DerbyshireFRS to meet him and make his wish come true today ๐
What an honour for our team to arrange this trip for Donald & his family today and how amazing that our brilliant colleagues in @DFRSTraining built a ramp especially to aid Donald getting into the fire engine ๐ #TeamDFRS
A real privilege to accompany Donald on his visit to @DerbyshireFRS today heโs now having a spot of lunch and a well earned rest. A fascinating gentleman with a wealth of stories everyone would benefit from a 10 min chat with Donald ๐๐ป๐๐ป
Cllr Kevin Buttery expresses thanks to all employees of @DerbyshireFRS and @DerbyshireFBU which is echoed by Cllr Marshall Clarke before the FRA disbands for purdah ๐โค๏ธ
