We are thrilled to have opened a new Fire Cadet unit at Skelmersdale Fire Station! Our Cadets will learn new skills and help out in the community over the next two years. A big welcome to all @LancashireFRS@UKFireCadets
Confined space operations combined with @metpoliceuk DVI team gaining access to some trapped patients, great to see @jesip999 working @FSCmoreton alongside #UKhart
โ๏ธ Pulling into @skemfire station on this glorious day and noticing the important message above the station. Donโt be tempted to jump in open water, itโs colder than it looks- even if the weather is warm. ๐ โ๏ธ
Lancashire Police and other emergency services to take part in a live car crash demonstration called Alive To Drive on Blackpool Promenade https://t.co/7firFmXKKv

If you see someone struggling in the water, fight your instincts to get in. Call 999. Tell them to float. Throw something that floats. An estimated 236,000 lives are lost to drowning every year. In the UK 1,243 people have drowned in the last 5 years.

Great day at Tees Barrage today. CPD day for Flood Water Incident Managers, looking at incidents involving vehicles in water, hydrology and tactics as we continue to improve our response to #climateChange related incidents. Great insight and direction from @LfrsStc instructors
Only one more day to go until the on call recruitment window shuts. Have you completed your application? Start your new journey now! https://t.co/bLHgKhinHs
Last week- wildfires ๐ฅ This week- flooding ๐ง
Fortunately, Firefighters in Lancashire are kitted out with wading equipment to aid our operational flood response.
Today I attended this flooding with @Darwen_Fire FFs. @LancashireFRS#climatechange#flooding#wildfires
Join our Tarleton team ๐
We are recruiting on-call firefighters now, come and see us on Wednesday between 7pm and 9pm to meet the crew and find out more!

@LancashireFRS continued drive to invest in staff & resources certainly paid dividends at a large wildfire today.
Specialist wildfire PPE is lightweight & supports ease of movement.
Hagglund ATVโs are also brilliant at transporting people and water to the scene of Ops = win, win
There is a lot of confusion in the media about the role of the NILO and the other responders in BPPE at the incident today. NILOs are specialist advisors to the normal multi-agency command chain on their agencies operational capacity and capability to reduce risk and safely resolve incidents. This includes CT incident and other critical incidents.
