@Marshall5Steve @spectator Sorry, what are you talking about?

I can’t remember the name of the driver but I think his reg was LS63 LBK. Top bloke and a credit to black cabbies! Cheers @SaveTaxi

@Joeybigpots @LondonFire @RSPCA_official Was that a deliberate ploy so the red’s had to do it 😉

Firefighters in #Kensington rescued a baby fox after it became stuck in a wall cavity in #Bayswater. The tiny fox, named Ian after a soon-to-be retiring colleague, was left safely to wait for his mother on advice from @RSPCA_official https://t.co/LUGJAmgiPd

We salute our member Michael Dowden who was the first incident commander at Grenfell and was confronted by an unprecedented fire. He conducted himself with courage and professionalism in an impossible situation. We stand with him. Let's get this hashtag going. #IAmMichaelDowden

Timely reminder that absolutely nobody tells referee Bakary Gassama what to do.

@d7wsy Stage 2 ECO mate.... very important role 😉

@Fact_checker1 I’m glad we could have a sensible conversation without the usual twitter nonsense. Now I’ve got to head back into work!

@Fact_checker1 @FBUCambs @Rachael_Swindon I said this....

2014 - 10 fire stations in London close
2015 - 33 fire deaths
2016 - 46 fire deaths
2017 - 70+ (just at Grenfell)
2018 - Compared to March 2015 a further increase

Prior to the station closures, deaths were falling as you pointed out, now they are increasing.

[scott @scottymag]

@Fact_checker1 @FBUCambs @Rachael_Swindon If the source you are using is accurate then yes you’re right.

However her first line mentioned about “cuts having consequences” and I can tell you first hand in my line of work (and with the stats I’ve mentioned) that they certainly are having a negative impact.

[scott @scottymag]

@Fact_checker1 @FBUCambs @Rachael_Swindon I’ve just noticed you are quoting national figures and I am quoting those from London only. Therein lies the confusion

For me the year on year increase in deaths in London almost immediately after 10 stations were closed in 2014 is particularly concerning - as are all fatalities

[scott @scottymag]

@Fact_checker1 @FBUCambs @Rachael_Swindon This is what I mean about trends. I’m not saying a 20% cut FF numbers results in exactly a 20% rise in fire deaths.

[scott @scottymag]

@Fact_checker1 @FBUCambs @Rachael_Swindon 2016 saw a 40% rise on the previous year.

2017 with Grenfell alone saw substantially more deaths than 2016.

Even though we are only in March, if current trends continue then 2018 will also show an increase.

So there have been more deaths in 16, 17 and probably 18 than in 15

[scott @scottymag]

@Fact_checker1 @FBUCambs @Rachael_Swindon I think the point being made is since the fire station closures and cuts, the trend has shifted from fire deaths falling to them increasing

[scott @scottymag]

@lordsidcup @mrjamesob I think his answer to an incredibly complicated issue was to “just let them get on with it”

There you go. Problem solved. Simple as that 🙄
