Today marks 3 years since the tragedy at #GrenfellTower. Red Watch paid our respects to the 72 people that lost their lives with 72 seconds of silence at 6pm. Our thoughts are with the friends and families of those who’s lives were lost

Red watch have been up at @AFRSHicksGate helping the L&D team train up the new recruits on our hazmat incident procedures. Looking good in the big green suits #scrubadubdub

New technique practiced today that we’re calling Greener’s supension bridge. Just using the little bit of leverage to swing it round into place.

Good shift for #STN04R working with lots of other stations. RTC and LGV training with @AFRSAvonmouth and @AFRSYate followed by an RTC with @AFRSSouthmead and a barn fire with @AFRSKingswood and Yate to end the day. Thank you to the #SwanSmokehouse for some much needed water!

Lots of specialist equipment used to safely extricate 2 casualties involved in an accident with a lorry early this morning. Great teamwork from @AFRSAvonmouth @AFRSThornbury South Western Ambulance Service Avon and Somerset Police and National Highways: South-West

Beautiful treat of a bank holiday breakfast cooked by the one and only Chef Kenny #eggsroyale #messingclub

A small fire in the woods meant a bit of a walk with our aqua pack this evening to put it out. Please be mindful of how quickly fires like this can spread!

With group exercise and team sports off at the moment, we need to make sure we are looking after each other’s physical and mental health from afar. One of our firefighters is part of a team encouraging this by collectively running 1000 miles and raising money for a great cause

Got to help each other get to all of those hard to reach places #teamwork #scrubadubdub

Bit of wet weather training with a view. Simulating the rescue of a casualty fallen on a steep bank #mudmudmud #swah #notjustfires

Thanks to @AFRSHicksGate for organising the hot fire exercise for us @AFRSBath @AFRSKingswood and @AFRSYate yesterday. Sorting out the weather for us went down well too 😀🌞 #stn04red

44% of people who accidentally drowned in 2019 had no intention of entering the water. Would you know what to do if you fell in? #FloatToLive #BeWaterAware respectthewater.com

Red watch have been out practicing our pumping from open water capability at Aztec west. We also tested our new branches to see how far they reach #excusetheknots #wet&windy

Red watch have just helped get a little boy out of a car who accidentally locked himself in. Thank you very much to the kind staff at Holiday Inn Express by IHG in Filton for the coffee and bacon baps whilst we were there!

Under 2 weeks to go before one of our firefighters competes in the Chester Triathlon deva triathlon for Marie Curie in memory of her aunt. Any support would be greatly appreciated justgiving.com/fundraising/ha… #itsalongway #swimbikerun

Sadly 80% of accidents to under-5s happen in the home.   Here's some tips to keep them safe: - Have an escape plan - Keep things that can cause fire out of reach - Supervise children around fire, heaters & cookers   More on our website: avonfire.gov.uk/safety-advice/…   #ChildSafetyWeek

Incident at Smyth’s toys this afternoon. Never seen so many ambulances, fire engines and police in attendance😆. Just a faulty light setting off alarms this time 🛎💡
