#WeRemember firefighters Brian Wembridge and Geoff Wicker lost their lives in the line of duty in a fireworks explosion at Marlie Farm, East Sussex, 19 years ago today.

[Fire Brigades Union @fbunational]

When workers are divided, we all lose. It's time to unite.

Today, we're joining the @UKTogetherAll.

Join us on 28 March in London for a message of hope over fear.

Firefighters know all about duty. It’s our duty now to take a stand.

Reform UK Kent council leader is branded "Captain Chaos" after suspending nine councillors including five members of the fire authority.

Removing fire authority members means that Kent FRS Chief Executive can't sign off on big spends. "Captain Chaos" is threatening public safety

[South East FBU @southeastFBU]

Kent fire authority is in chaos due to the continued mismanagement & failings of @ReformUKKent

[Vince Maple #ProudToBeMedway @vincemaple]

Izzy was Vice Chair of the Kent & Medway Fire Authority

Brian Black was Chair of the Kent & Medway Fire Authority

Robert Ford was Vice Chair of the Kent & Medway Fire Authority Audit & Governance

This chaos has implications far beyond KCC and is anything but Business as Usual

[Joe @jw2403]

If @Kent_cc is @reformparty_uk and @Nigel_Farage shop window I’ve seen enough, they’re a shambles.

They should be nowhere near power & are not fit to govern.

[Joe @jw2403]

Proud to support this campaign, continuing the fight for the Truth About Zane.

@fbunational will stand with Nicole & Kye & all other campaigners until justice is served.

Zane died, authorities lied.

@ReformUKKent couldn’t run a bath, let alone Kent County Council. These are the elected members responsible for Kent Fire & Rescue Service, we all know what savings mean, cuts.

I want to be clear firefighters & @FbuKent members will not accept any cuts to Kent FRS!

[Joe @jw2403]

Solidarity with family, friends and colleagues of the firefighter injured in this incident, it again evidences the significant risks firefighters take on a daily basis to protect their communities.

[Joe @jw2403]

Firefighters risk their lives to serve their communities & protect the public.

Years of underfunding & a significant number of firefighter jobs cut is making this even more dangerous.

The Labour government must urgently invest in the FRS to protect our firefighters.

[Fire Brigades Union @fbunational]

FBU EC member for South East, Joe Weir moved a motion, on Zane's Law at TUC congress on Monday. The motion was unanimously backed.

TUC affiliated unions have now joined us in the fight to get Zane's Law into legislation, for better landfill regulations to protect our communities.

🚨 Pay Cuts? Absolute Rubbish. 🚨

Proud to stand with Birmingham bin workers alongside @FBUEastMidlands firefighters.

No one should face a pay cut. No worker, ever!!

💪 Solidarity with the strikers — they deserve better. #SupportTheStrike #NoToPayCuts #BirminghamBinWorkers

[Fire Brigades Union @fbunational]

As another heatwave hits parts of the UK, firefighters are on high alert.

Wildfires are on the rise, but the fire and rescue service has been cut to the bone.

The government must tax the oil and gas companies driving the climate emergency - and fund our public services.

[Fire Brigades Union @fbunational]

Today at 18:39, exactly one week on from the time of call, FBU annual conference took part in a nationwide minute of silence to honur the sacrifice of Jennie Logan and Martyn Sadler, who lost their lives in the line of duty on Thursday 15 May.

We also remembered David Chester, a member of public who died in the same incident. And our thoughts are with the two firefighters who remain in hospital.

[Fire Brigades Union @fbunational]

Highlights from day two of FBU conference.

Delegates discussed their commitment to working-class solidarity, social justice and anti-racism, with debates on combatting the far right and standing up for migrants' rights.

[Fire Brigades Union @fbunational]

Angela Rayner is pushing to tax wealth. It’s time for Rachel Reeves to abandon Thatcherite welfare cuts and end austerity.

@UnionSteveW says "Austerity will leave pensioners in the cold, plunge disabled people into poverty, and drive living standards down even further."

[Steve Wright @UnionSteveW]

We will not stop until justice is served for Zane and his family.

It's over 6 months since Israeli authorities impounded the FBU donation of a fire appliance, firefighting kit, and medical aid destined for Nablus firefighters in Palestines West Bank. Please sign and share our open letter calling for its release.

When research revealed the impact of attending Grenfell on firefighters' health, @GwynneMP said the government would look seriously at the issue.

Today, @UnionSteveW called on the government to make good. The FBU will work with ministers to deliver regular health monitoring.

Watching @UnionSteveW representing members from @fbunational at the stand up to racism march and rally last week.
