The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has now confirmed that Firefighter Barry Martin has passed away following serious injuries sustained at a fire in the Jenners Building in Edinburgh on Monday 23rd January. A statement from our General Secretary Matt Wrack.

💥 This is huge 💥 The numbers speak for themselves. 🗳️ After more than a decade of falling pay, firefighters have voted by an overwhelming margin for strike action. 🗳️ We stand firm. ✊

We don’t want politicians to praise us as heroes, we want fair pay, safe working conditions and a service the public can rely on. Matt Wrack in the Guardian today. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

LGBT+ History month is about looking back in our pasts to see how we can be better in our future. Here’s new LGBT+ logo that is inclusive of all. If history has shown us anything it’s that exclusion doesn’t work, and therefore using the progression flag brings us all together.

#WeRemember Fleur Lombard today. Fleur was the first female firefighter to die on duty in peacetime Britain.

Happy #LGBTplusHM - we love the new logo!
