🔥Despite widespread support from public, and cross-party support from politicians, this round of cuts has begun. Remember these are described as 'temporary' by Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, a line repeated by Scottish Government We will continue to campaign for the investment the service desperately needs

All firefighters need safe crewing levels, It is shameful that some chief officers are seeking to formalise unsafe practices - simply to prop up understaffing. #CrewsOf3NotForMe

'No firefighter should be put in this position': Cambridgeshire firefighters protest crews of three fbu.org.uk/news/2023/10/0…

"No firefighter should ever be put in this position.” ❌When fire engines are crewed with just three firefighters, they don't have the resources to enter a burning building and save lives. Watch FBU Cambridgeshire calling for an end to this dangerous policy on ITV News Anglia👇📺

It's great to see the Fire Brigades Union fight for BA Safety front & centre of the latest Hazards magazine. Thankyou. BA Safety was born from the death & injury of firefighters & it's not for sale. We will fight to protect it. Full article here👇 hazards.org/deadlybusiness…

Firefighters are working round the clock to rescue people from flooding caused by Storm Babet. Our thoughts are with all those affected. Instead of being cut to the bone, our service must be properly equipped to respond to increasing extreme weather.

We need a fire service that's fit for the future. The Firefighters' Manifesto sets out the changes we need to fight for - and we're launching it at a rally on Wednesday 1 November. Hear from Matt Wrack on why you should be there 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=EOgtGs…

Firefighters - members of the FBU - have been on the frontline of tackling Storm Babet. Our service needs investment to tackle the growing threats from extreme weather events. The cuts currently being imposed in Scotland need to stop. Immediately.
