It's #InternationalMensDay & these are just two of the men we are proud to call our people at LFRS Fire Control🚒💚 on duty today with Green Watch, a lovely pair of Double D's (Dave & Dave!) ☺️ A huge thanks to all the men who work in Fire Control & to our operational crews also!
Celebrating with fireworks this evening?🎆🎇
Never return to a lit firework, and make sure everyone stays a safe distance away.
Have fun, #CelebrateSafely, and follow all the correct procedures.

After a year of evidence-based preparation & innovative behind the scenes work from @firefighters999 the dedicated suicide crisis line for the UK fire community is here. Share widely across fire, we don't know who might be needing that number right now: https://t.co/BDhQEHDfDM
💥 Did you know...?
Sparklers can reach temperatures of over 1,000ºC🔥
Make sure everyone handling sparklers this weekend wears gloves and holds them at arm's length. Don't wave sparklers close to other people.

Some of my new followers may not have seen this one, a great video from @ChrisHollis999 which demonstrates that even when fully submerged lithium-ion batteries still pose a risk.
We have recently had fire deaths in the UK due to fires caused by lithium-ion batteries in the home.
We have been at Filbert Village today, conducting an exercise to test our procedures for fires in tall buildings. We will be there again tomorrow, so don’t worry if you see a fire service presence in the area 🚒 #SaferPeopleSaferPlaces
