These dogs do some fantastic work and are making a real difference helping to locate missing persons

Yes it's true, after over 30 years as a firefighter I will soon be retiring from my existing position. Though very sad that this is coming to the end pleased to be coming back with the dogs to support #Fire #investigation

Cake delivered to #firecontrol this afternoon. In return Maysire and Willow got a bag of balls. To say they were pleased was an understatement. Thanks #ketteringtennisclub for the donation

After a busy few days assisting Northants Police we took time to visit the new calves and lambs #dogs #farming

We're back with some great news. Willow is expecting puppies sometime next week. A massive thank you to White Cross Vets #Northampton for the scan, support and advice. I will keep you updated and promise lots of photos.

Willow has had 5 beautiful black #labrador puppies. They are absolutely adorable and she is being such a fantastic mum. #nosleepcantstopwatching

Willows continues to be such a good mum and the puppies are doing so well. I never knew that Willow had such a soft mouth lifting the pups back into her. #tennisballsdontgetthesametreatment

I don't think Willow has ever been so exhausted. Did not stir this morning. Must have been a long night. #blessher #tongueoutsunday

Yesterday I spoke with a lady who went against her daughters decision to donate her organs. She carried a donor card but at the time of her death didn’t feel able to consent. She has lived to regret it. It’s never a good time to discuss it. Please find the time xxx

Cold water shock

Retired #fire #dog Maysie is being a fantastic grandmother to the pups. She absolutely loves them and is so kind and gentle. She has even produced milk just to lend a helping paw if ever required. #specailfamilytime

This Saturday sees the return of Brackley Fire Station Open Day. There will be lots of things for the family to do. Please share🚒

When we say keep doors closed, particularly at night, to stop the spread of fire - we aren't making it up! This video was taken by our @ladywoodfire crew at an incident yesterday.

Today we had a visit from a colleague from Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service who took photographs for a calendar to support Fire Fighters Charity. Certainly something new for the pups. #whowastakingphotosofwho

Willow has been doing a spot of heel work with one of her pups. Seemed to be progressing well until something more interesting came along

Open day Mereway Fire and Rescue Station 11/08 from 1100-1500. Fire service demonstrations, tombola, food stalls, cadets... come on down and have a look around! Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue

This litter seem so intelligent. After just 3 feeds they have all learnt to sit in front of me before food time. Early days but all showing great potential.

Intelligent but very very naughty

We love it there. What a great community event
