A few asking about the mention of the Firefighter Safety Maxim that was mentioned yesterday and a possible answer as to why the FF’s were “standing around not doing much” See photo- no life risk, no risk to Ff safety

Agree Clifford Agius very visual example of how to evacuate, undoubtedly one of the reasons for no fatalities on the A350, along with the competence of the flight deck and cabin crew #welldonejal

Mand the Fire station is looking good 😉

Fun flying tonight and nice to see Airport Fire Service on local standby near the runway Heathrow Airport ready to pounce if we get it wrong. Thanks to the awesome Heathrow Director controllers for thier support and hard work bit if a coaster ride down the approach in the worst of the winds.

Happy to present another 20 year LSGC medal to one of our Red Watch firefighters, Mick Brophy

Not yet, we will post on here when we are recruiting again- currently fully crewed

It’s 6 days to the Invisible Risk seminar, the largest event in the UK to date on the subject of the particulate risk to responders. We have 210 delegates attending, representing 130 organisations. We look forward to welcoming everyone booked in! Invisiblerisk.co.uk
