THREAD 1. ‘What the hell just happened?’ - My partner (a 999 Fire Control supervisor) and I both used exactly the same phrase as we got home from work today. The true story of today will not become clear until incidents are debriefed, call and incident numbers are reconciled, and

MP15 Dale St, Ossett 19/1/22. The hard work of crews, effective ‘Stop Jets’ and Aerial appliances prevented the fire from spreading to surrounding buildings.Thankyou to colleagues from @YorksAmbulance @WestYorksPolice for your support! 🚒🚓🚑 #fire #999 #fireservice #teamwork

Well done to my twin brother @BleasdaleRob on his appointment to Chief Nursing Officer @ChelwestFT. Public service is the family business! #proudbrother #welldone

A few from this morning’s Method of Entry (MOE) with Cleckheaton Green watch. Great to refresh technique so that we can get to you safely if needed! #fireservice #999 #training #hitit

It isn’t perfect (it never will be) but Cressida Dick is the sort of old fashioned leader of the Met who takes responsibility for all that happens on her watch. unlike some politicians who run for cover & seek to blame others the moment the public don’t like what they see.

⁦@fbunational⁩ This is the sort of thing you should be publicly condemning ⁦@PFEW_HQ⁩ https://t.co/UmFFM5WS52

[Martin Bleasdale @mbleasy]

Can someone please explain to my why anyone would think this is an acceptable course of action?These people are there to help and protect you. They are also someone’s Mother, Wife, Father Son, Husband or Daughter. The world is going mad!! ⁦https://t.co/UmFFM5WS52

[Martin Bleasdale @mbleasy]

This!

[Martin Bleasdale @mbleasy]

@fbunational @FBUNWC Well as a loyal member for 20 years I’m out! You’ve just lost me. You do not represent my views as a serving firefighter who stands by my brothers and sisters in blue!

[Martin Bleasdale @mbleasy]

As an on-call firefighter also, I completely echo this sentiment.

[Jonner Robinson @jonner3013]

Being On Call is part of our life, no matter the occasion when the alerter goes, we go! But we couldn’t do it without the support of our families who sacrifice so much so that we can keep our communities safe. A big shout out to all the families of On Call firefighters 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🚒📟

(4/4) ...Finally, crews were called to help out Tilly, who had fallen into an old mill pond from a narrow path.🐎

Our technical rescue crew used a telehandler to lift her out & thanks to some great work from our Firefighters, she was uninjured & was taken to a place of safety.🐴

Cleckheaton Green pausing to remember the 56 lives tragically lost in the Bradford city fire. A particularly poignant moment also as we remember our brother FF 4119 Matthew Wood of 62B lost 5 years ago today. #BradfordFire #remembering #FireFamily #999family

[Hightown JIN School @HightownJIN]

What a fantastic morning we have had at Hightown with Dan and Gaz visiting us from @WYFRS
The children asked loads of amazing questions and found out lots about what it takes to be a fireman or woman. The teachers even got to try on the uniform! #woww2020 #breakingbarriers

[Martin Bleasdale @mbleasy]

Awesome! Well done to FF John Nicholson who has just completed the gruelling 268 mile @TheSpineRace. Truly inspirational! Proud to have you as part of the team! 🏔🏃‍♂️🚒💪
