Privileged to be asked along tonight to the recently established Tweeddale Flood Advisory Group to inform them of our flood and SWRT capabilities. Thanks to Gala R/W & MELSB Training staff. The aim of the group will be to promote safety in flood conditions. ๐๐ป๐
@CllrScottArthur Hi Scott
I totally get that you are trying to improve road safety as a whole across the city but having recently moved from Craiglockhart to Corstorphine this measure has added confusion to the majority bus lane times that most folk adhere to. It certainly caught me out. ๐ท.
St David's High School had day 1 of their 2 day Fireskills course at Dalkeith Fire Station today. Students learned about team building, using the Hose reel, finding out what it was like to not see wearing a BA mask & equipment we use. Looking forward to tomorrow!
Congratulations to the students from @knoxacademy for completing their 2 day Fireskills course. A lot was covered including team building, hose drills and BA!
A special thanks to both @PSOSEastLothian and @Tesco for making the course possible
Graduation ceremony today for our @knoxacademy Cool Down Crew after 2 days at the fire service. They learned how to work as a team, problem solve in a blacked out room & how to fight a fire. The fire fighters running the course were very impressed by their commitment to learning.
SFRS in the Scottish Borders lost 90years of service this week!
