Today we remember Ian Reid, John Averis, Ashley Stephens and Darren Yates-Badley, who lost their lives at an incident in Atherstone-on-Stour in 2007. Their deaths exposed serious failings and remind us that safety is not automatic - it must be fought for every day through

FBU Black and ethnic minority members organised their first 'Black members' meeting', now known as B&EMM school, in 1996. Members discussed the culture of racism within the service, forming a support network and laying the groundwork for change. #BHM

Proud and privileged to be able to show support for the striking RMT members in Manchester today. One workers fight is every workers fight. The FBU will always stand in solidarity when workers are being marginalised by the bosses. @RMTunion @fbunational

Thoughts are with our @FBUManchester member injured at the fire in Radcliffe last night - full support with them and all involved at this incident. @fbunational sending solidarity.
Thoughts are with our comrade who was injured during last nights significant fire after a building collapse in in Radcliffe Highlighting once again the risks firefighters take on a daily basis to protect the communities they serve

Shortly after 7.50pm last night, nine fire engines and various specialist appliances from across Greater Manchester were called to attend a fire at a commercial building on Milltown Street in Radcliffe. Our crews have worked overnight to extinguish the fire. In the early stages

Whilst it is very good news to see the return of the 52nd appliance without increased public spending, positive change will be short lived The gaps in central funding may result in 100’s of firefighter posts having to be removed in the very near future! #cutshaveconsequences
🚒 Our 52nd engine has arrived! 🚒 On Friday, 19 September, we proudly celebrated the arrival of an additional fire engine that is now on the run at our Moss Side Community Fire Station. This growth is the last deliverable of our 2023 Fire Cover Review as part of our ongoing

FBU general secretary, Steve Wright moved a motion on the urgent need for investment in the fire service at TUC congress on Monday. The motion was unanimously backed. Cuts to the fire service costs lives. #TUC25

Cuts have decimated the fire and rescue service since 2010. 🪓1 in 5 firefighter posts axed 🚒 Fire engines sitting empty 🏚️ Stations crumbling or closed ⏱️Response times slower than ever Labour must put public safety first and put a stop to this dangerous austerity.
