Remembering AFS firefighter Solomon Belinsky who was fatally injured during the Leeds Blitz on 15 March 1941. Solly was based at Gipton fire station The Old Fire Station. Learn more about his contribution & visit his Fire Brigades Union red plaque: redplaque.org.uk/plaque/solomon…

Very thought provoking - thanks Victor.

Now on to Jonathan Reinarz, on some of the excellent work by Forged by Fire - looking at the use of shock tactics in burns prevention campaigns in post-1945 Britain.

Looking forward to this!

Joined by the legacy team (S1 pupils Dalziel High School), we've spent the past two days with P7 pupils Knowetop Primary remembering and learning about the events that unfolded on that fateful day. We also took a trip to Motherwell Fire Station.
A great project to be part of- thank you!
