And here is the very reason why FRS staff from across the country are volunteering to support the mass vaccination programme #ReadyWillingAble

Led by the NHS... we firefighters have been working alongside Army, Navy, RAF as well as volunteers. Teamwork is the lifeblood of Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service, but this project is next level collaboration. And it’s phenomenal.

We are so proud to work with and alongside our partners EEAST Ambulance Service 👏 🚑 to keep our communities safe in these difficult times. #WorkingTogether #KeepingBedsSafe

We’ve been busy packing the goodie boxes and sending them out to 24 families from 9 different NHS Burns services, ready for our first ever Virtual Family Support Event that's taking place next weekend #BeBurnsAware

Great work

What incredibly sad news about Capt Sir Tom Moore (Captain Sir Tom Moore) who has died in Bedford Hospital of Covid. This wonderful man achieved more in his last centenary year than most of us will in a lifetime. My thoughts are with his family and he will be so hugely missed.

Bishop Richard said: "Sir Tom embodied courage and character. We are sad, but profoundly grateful for his magnificent contribution. His can-do optimism has lessons for all. His campaigning made a powerful statement about each person's value. His loving family are in my prayers."

Our first online Family Weekend was a resounding success. We asked the burn survivors and their families who joined us last weekend how this live experience made them feel and we were absolutely delighted with their responses. cbtrust.org.uk/burn-rehabilit…

For everyone’s safety, if we need to see you in your home before coming in for a Safe and Well visit, we will ask about the general health of those living in the property and we will wear PPE. #KeepingBedsSafe #SafeandWell #Covid19 #Safety

More than 27,000 vaccinations have been given to the public by FRS staff, following amazing support for the national programme. This equals staff giving around 1 in 600 immunisations out of the 16.5 million given to date. #ReadyWillingAble 👏 💉 bit.ly/3qCG8E7

More exciting news....We are please to announce our Womens Team Head Coach for 2021/22 season. Kirsty Openshaw has joined the team. Kirsty currently coaches the England Fire Service Womens team. Once again a huge thanks to Women in the Fire Service UK for their help in recruitment.

#TeamBedsFire are keeping super safe with PPE during Safe & Well and Fire Safety visits during this time. But we reserve our more extreme PPE for more dangerous substances. Here are some of our Firefighters kitting up to do some hazardous material training. #TeamBedsFire

Encouraging to hear the road to getting back to a more normal life being mapped out by the PM this evening. Let's take it carefully, make sure we get our vaccination & continue to follow the rules so we can do this safely. Our fantastic NHS staff are still working incredibly hard
