Seeing ice on the Poole Park boating lake reminded us that when people fall through, fast effective ice and water rescue would be a life saver. We are the Distributors for the Mayday Hansa Rescue Board as used by the Scandinavian Fire and Rescue Services. So here's a short video of what it can accomplish. https://t.co/GQ2je1nY8S
Looking back, FloodFighters@Seawork on 10 June 2025 in Southampton, UK, was a great event absolutely in line with our philosophy of discussing, training (https://t.co/LkRvChvyXz) and preparing for key challenges of flooding disasters as a result of climate change. We especially included the global maritime search and rescue (SAR) industry with the help of the International Maritime Rescue Federation, reviewing the issues they will face, guidance and best practices that will aid rescue operations in the future.

They stood together as Fire Chief @RegE_TJohnson swore them in, marking the beginning of their careers as Charlotte firefighters. They are ready to answer the call.

🇵🇱 Torrential rain from Storm Boris has swelled rivers across central and eastern Europe. After a dam burst in Poland, the town of Stronie Slaskie was flooded, people were evacuated by helicopters. Major floods also in Austria, the Czech Republic and Romania. Hundreds of thousands of people were left without electricity in the Czech Republic due to strong winds and flooding. The situation is tragic, the water is washing away everything in its path.
