Can it be true that trainees in the west are being told to tell everyone they have had hot wears when in fact that's not strictly accurate?

[Gus Sproul @AngusSproul]

Caught up with Scott MacRory for a chat about the progress on DECON in Scotland, after us all being sent the Scotland specific GP letter last week.
Great work again from @fbunational and @FBUScotland
Credit to @fire_scot for the collaborative approach, more updates to follow

[Karl Wager @karl_wager]

Support from @fburegion3 to all @fbumerseyside members and officials

Crews of 3 is one of the most dangerous proposals In our industry.
We will fight it at all costs.
The mainly @UKLabour fire authority needs to LISTEN to @fbunational members.
CREWS OF THREE NOT FOR ME

🔥The longer it takes a fire engine to get to a fire the higher the risk to the public of Scotland. Firefighters are not prepared for @scotgov to put our communities at further risk through lack of proper investment. Listen to the frontline!🔥🚒 #CutsCostLives #Firestorm

[FBU Scotland @FBUScotland]

🔥The FBU Firestorm Report is the voice of the frontline who have witnessed first hand the impact of savage cuts over the last decade @scotgov enough is enough it’s time to properly invest in our fire service in Scotland 🔥🚒@fbunational @UnityConsults @HumzaYousaf @ShonaRobison

[Ally Boyle MBE @fireboyle]

This is really important from @FBUScotland. Due to the job I loved 🚒, I was diagnosed at 37 with a blood cancer with an average age at diagnosis of 71. Despite support from FRS🙏🏻, I was put on half pay twice and received a significantly reduced pension.

🔥More than a decade of real terms budget cuts MUST end to enable firefighters to be safe at work & continue to keep communities safe @ShonaRobison without proper investment lives will be put at risk🔥it’s time to properly fund our fire service in Scotland🔥🚒@fbunational

[FBU Scotland @FBUScotland]

🔥Hundreds of members tune in to FBU Scotland all members mass online meeting on 6 December @scotgov need to show they’re listening to firefighters! Minimum investment = standing still, which is not an option🔥🚒 listen to the full meeting here👇👇

Waldorf and I are wondering how long before Scottish Fire and Rescue follow suit? #CutsLeaveScars #NoRedundancies

[Matt Wrack @MattWrack]

Great to be at this protest by @FBUCambs yesterday, opposing the unsafe practice of crewing RDS pumps with three.

[FBU Scotland @FBUScotland]

🔥Fires are going down, right? In PKAD alone -2 fatalities, 11 casualties, 56 house fires in 6 months. Highest level in 4 years. FFs used to fit detection and give advice - now only high risk and onus on householder/landlord!👇@fbunational @FBUScotNorth

⏰ Average response times by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service have gone up by a whole minute.

One minute could be the difference between life and death.

There has been a decade of budget cuts to fire, join @FBUScotland in calling for an end to fire service cuts.

[Fire Brigades Union @fbunational]

Today, firefighters took to the streets to protest Cambridgeshire fire service dangerously reducing crews to just three firefighters.

Reducing crews puts lives at risk.

As the service opened a new fire station, firefighters made it loud and clear: this policy must end.

[Save Kirkcaldy's Height Appliance @SaveN05A1]

Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service both services the public need. But Scottish Government are willing to cut them both to bare bones #CutsLeaveScars

Great to host the meeting, very constructive discussion progressing RDS terms and pay. Fantastic to see so many Regions represented! Hope all representatives enjoyed their time in R1… haste ye back 😉

[FBU National Retained Committee @FBU_NRC]

Fantastic meeting of @fbunational National Retained Committee. Great to see 13 Regions represented ✊ Discussion on improving RDS pay and conditions nationally. Hosted by @FBUScotland & @region1rds, with updates on RDS issues in Scotland. @JMcKScotRegSec @FBU_Scotland_EC

[FBU Scotland @FBUScotland]

🔥INVERNESS MASS MEETING🔥Members are ready to take action to defend our fire service and the communities of Scotland, demanding investment from @scotgov ✊🔥🚒 @fbunational @FBUScotNorth @FBUeastscotland @FBUwestscotland

[FBU Scotland @FBUScotland]

With a decreasing real terms budget @fire_scot can only refurbish 3 stations per year, 120 years to put dignified, safe facilities in all stations! No matter how committed SFRS are to improving they can't do it without real terms investment from @scotgov
