We’ve been at @OakwellNursery this morning showing all the children round the 🚒 and telling them what we do as firefighters.
All the children enjoyed themselves and asked plenty of questions!

We were delighted to see the amazing @SamuelLJackson at a call out recently.
Thankfully a false alarm. Needless to say, the crew were a bit star stuck when they realised who was in the room🤩🎥
Here’s a pic of some of the happy crew who were sent to a grass 🔥immediately after

Last night we welcomed our newest Firefighter to the team; FF Lewis Herdman.
Lewis undertook some practical drills which included 13.5m & 10.5m ladder drills. Hose drills with operation of the pump & some combined pump & ladder drills.
Excellent enthusiasm shown throughout 👏🏻

After dealing with an incident, we got to meet Kyogo the puppy who was wondering what all the fuss was about.
Despite our best efforts, we couldn’t recruit him as a mascot 🐶

Thank you to the team from our local fire service who came into to talk to our pupils about staying safe when out enjoying bonfire night and fireworks. #whatmatters #@LinlithgowFire

Battery operated candles are the safest way to light up spooky things at Halloween. 🎃

If you have naked flames around, ensure they are well away from anything that can burn including costumes that might catch fire.

We have more safety advice online 👉 https://t.co/TaSPvkDhRo

At our drill night this week our developing FFs undertook a BA exercise as part of their🔴&🟠Phase Assessments. We also used this as an opportunity for a FF to undertake the role of Incident Commander in prep for their Incident Command Assessment.
Brilliant effort put in by all👏🏻
