    Fire stations are a safe haven for all - UK Fire & Rescue Services are behind this. You have the right to feel safe, regardless of location or time. Anyone who is afraid, lost or harassed, knock on the door. Many fire stations are open 24/7. Check the times & save as #safespace

    Debunking the myth: Hand sanitiser kept in cars DO NOT pose a fire risk. Following widespread news coverage claiming that hand sanitiser kept in vehicles can pose a fire risk, we refute this - and confirm there have been no cases of such fires in the UK. tinyurl.com/y7c36trc

    Our team in Greece has officially been stood down & plans are underway for their return to the UK. The 21-strong team has worked under gruelling conditions during the last week. We would like to say a heartfelt 'thank you' to everyone for their amazing, tireless hard work. 👏 🚒

    With many of us remaining at home, parking on streets might be a bit tight. Fire Services still need respond quickly and safely so park carefully and help us through #COVID19

    In this heat please don’t use barbecues or light campfires when out in the countryside or at local parks. In these dry conditions it is very easy for a fire to start and spread quickly. Help prevent these fires and keep yourselves and your communities safe. #WildfireAware
