⚠️ Update on wildfires in Highland, Moray and Aberdeenshire ⚠️

Please take a few minutes to watch the video that shows the huge scale of the response and acknowledges the dedication of all the firefighters who responded.

Firefighters across Scotland are receiving extra personal protective equipment, costing around £1.4m. This is part of a £3.2m investment and ongoing work with the FBU looking at how we can protect firefighters from potential harm of fire contaminants.

Being a @fire_scot On call firefighter requires family support.

SANQUHAR station held a Family night, inviting their top supporters in to find out what their loved ones actually do!

Thank you to everyone who supports an On call firefighter - they couldn't do it without you! 🚒

❤️ SANQUHAR fire station hosted two CPR drop-in sessions with St John Ambulance this week.

It was great to see a wide range of age groups come in to brush up on their life saving skills.

Thanks to everyone who attended! 🚒

Violence against emergency services workers? Absolutely NOT part of the job!

Watch and share our video to stand firm against aggression and verbal abuse directed towards those who strive to protect our local communities.

The psychological safety hierarchy of needs at work by @heidipsychology. I appreciate how Heidi has created three categories. At the base are basic safety needs like not being micromanaged. Next is psychological needs like belonging & sense of esteem. At the top is self-fulfilment needs, the ability to be our true, authentic selves. People who work at the top of their pyramid are the ones with the potential to deliver the best performance.
