@CarolynOtley Well you can cover physics quite easily with the laws of gravity and force / motion. I.e sledging and what happens when you hit an immovable object at the bottom. Then you can cover biology and what happens to the human body when injuries happen.

@CarolynOtley @Laurarcumbriac1 Carolyn, try signing into the Zoom test call meeting (available off their website) first, switch it there, then log in to your proper one. A little more long winded but it works.

@NW_SAR @Flaminhaystack @LancashireFRS @manchesterfire Yes definitely a memorable incident. Especially pitching in at Stalybridge Logistics Hub to help managing assets/crew for GM Fire & assisting teams as well as running my own.

Advice has been issued after a person got into difficulty while apparently swimming in a Carlisle river. Story: https://t.co/hnJoc4ALDh

@CarolynOtley That’s what happens when you���re good at what you do. We’re all still twiddling our thumbs. Back to the gardening I think today.

@shawkirsten @snoweider Well that took me about 20 minutes of racking my brains. Not that I should have been asleep hours ago but hey ho!

[Duncan Sanders @DuncanSanders]

@CarolynOtley Actually scratch that. Got them all now haha! A few I didn’t know for sure but had to quickly verify I wasn’t making them up haha.

[Duncan Sanders @DuncanSanders]

@CarolynOtley So far 3,9,10 and 11 elude me. But I got more stumped when I realised it’s not all British birds. I managed to get 6 by rethinking back to a school trip to Northumberland 15 years ago!

@NW_SAR @NWAmbulance Sadly I assume that'll all be C1 based vans? Otherwise I'd happily pitch in.

@IanJSeel Good rule of thumb. If it has moving parts, but doesn’t have a transformer or power brick, it shouldn’t be going on a four way.

[Duncan Sanders @DuncanSanders]

@IanJSeel That fuse should have blown well before that happened! Good job you caught it.

@NW_SAR @Square_knotuk @waterrescuesys Just use the fast deployment method. Add crew onto the boat, release straps, drive forward and quickly brake and launch. 😆😝

[Carlisle East Fire Station @CarlisleEast]

and bring them back to the road to a waiting ambulance, just in the nick of time.

Excellent work by all crews, who are all returning back to station safety, while the casualties are transferred to hospital via ambulance.

@adeymayhew_ @Flood_Fighters @SurfLifeTas Interesting thoughts on supplies and logistics being faster than response. With that being my bag for the last eight years, is there any further reading on that comment? #professionaldevelopment

@NW_SAR @cardiffintww @surflifesaving @NorthCumbriaRRT @_LASAR_ @adeymayhew_ @lasar_3 Still think you lot are crazy for travelling at this time of morning. We’re just waking up down here haha.

[Duncan Sanders @DuncanSanders]

@UKCopHumour At least the lightbar was still working during the fire! @WoodwayEngLtd one of yours?

[4x4ResponseNorthEast @4x4ResponseNE]

We are pleased to announce that through the amazing generosity of the Northumberland Freemasons @ProvincialGLN and the Durham Freemasons @PGLDurham we have been able to purchase two defibrillators from @NEdefibs

These defibrillators will .....
