Over the next 12 months organisations who use both Firefighting Agents and Fire Retardants are going to have to make a decision over their products that contain PFAS. You are going to have to do something, so check to see if your is on the PFAS free list. https://t.co/hr7ZODLPfu
@WildfireTacAd These are landscape size fires, fire is everywhere, using wildfire prediction, LACES etc etc we have safe systems of work and the safety of the crews is priority NO.1 👍🏻👍🏻
British firefighters are deploying urgently to Greece to assist with the wildfires - at the Home Secretary’s request. Teams from five UK Fire & Rescue Services - via NFCC’s National Resilience function - will carry out vital firefighting assistance. https://t.co/uh7NJCrTmV
We're recruiting a Resilient Landscapes Project Officer to help us reduce the risk of fires on Marsden Moor. It's a new role which will involve working with the local community and @WYFRS to look after this precious landscape. @nattrustjobs @moorsforfuture

We would not have Motorsports without the amazing dedication and hard work from all the volunteers that turn up each and every race. Our thoughts and condolences are with the family and friends during this difficult time.

Very wise words from @unitedutilities, @LancashireFRS and Support Teams. It is all too easy to think "it won't happen to me", but the level of destruction and loss caused by a Wildfire is immense. Simple, DO NOT USE BBQs or start fires in our beautiful countryside @peakdistrict
❌ Please DO NOT take BBQs or start fires at countryside parks and reservoirs! ❌
This can cause devastation, damaging hundreds of acres of countryside and killing wildlife. The warmer weather increases the chances of fires very easily.
International Fire and Rescue Services putting #ColdFire to use. @OttFire were called to a "Popping Box" at Ottawa's International Airport. Identified as a lithium-ion battery, the Hazardous Materials Specialists used Cold Fire to halt the chemical reaction. @NFCC_FireChiefs
A huge thank you to the team @ICLTLeather for another great demo to PCC @matthew_barber & @ThamesVP. The level of personal protection #acidstop offers our emergency services is the best out there. TOTAL DECONTAMINANT FOR ACIDS AND ALKALIS. @NPCCOfficial@CollegeofPolice@PFEW_HQ
@HantsIOW_fire if this fire continues we can provide our Cold Fire Wetting agent used by EMR for this very type of fire. S Norton known us and we are happy to assist if this become a protracted event.
Can I just say, this is the way forward for all Wildfire training. I'm not sure what was in your course, but Environmental Impact should be taught everytime. So definitely kudos to @OverstrandMuni. @NFCC_FireChiefs @NLandFRS_CFO @essexforester
Today was the 1st day of training for the @OverstrandMuni F&R and Env operational staff in the Rx Burn Course. Wednesday is the turn of the officers and senior staff for their course.
Great initiative mixing wildfire with ecology - kudos to @OverstrandMuni.
@essexforester it is good to see so much involvement by so many different agencies and stakeholders this year. It all goes to developing a safer landscape. @CFOESFRS @NLandFRS_CFO @NFCC_FireChiefs
The hardest part of my job is dealing with people in crisis when you’re not feeling so great mentally yourself. I don’t know how much more I can take 😔 felt like this for so long now. It really is the worst place for a fragile mind 😩
It is really interesting to see how this ignites across the surface. I would amagine that dust particles would have a play in this, you can see the same reaction with shredded paper. Hope the worker was okay.
