On this day 133 years ago, a huge fire broke out under Leeds railway station. This weekend we unveiled a new Red Plaque to honour firefighter James Potter Schofield, known as Jim, who died fighting the inferno. We remember Jim's story as a vital part of our shared history.

Assistant general secretary, Ben Selby, has announced the results of the FBU 2025 general secretary election. Steve Wright has been elected as the new general secretary following a ballot of union members.

It takes firefighters 3.5 minutes longer to attend an incident than it did in the mid 1990s. Labour has an opportunity now to reverse the effects of austerity and properly fund the fire and rescue service so we can protect the public and keep firefighters safe.

For 8 years, firefighters have joined the communities of Grenfell demanding justice. Until justice is realised for the bereaved, the surviving communities and for firefighters, we will not rest. #Justice4Grenfell #Grenfell 💚
