On Firefighters' Memorial Day, we honour the lives of firefighters across the world, including the 2,300 UK firefighters who have died in the line of duty. At 12 midday, fire and rescue service workers across the UK will line up at their station, control room or other

Today, we remember Firefighter Fleur Lombard, who was killed in the line of duty 29 years ago. Fleur was just 21 years old when she died due to intense heat while fighting a serious fire at a supermarket in Staple Hill. Her incredible bravery was recognised with the Queen’s

How this fire was put out

Passionate talks by inspirational women today! Learning about the positive changes some Fire Services have made led to great discussion on how we move forward and work better together @NFCC_FireChiefs #menopauseconference @WFSUK1 #menopause #firefighter

Happy International Woman’s Day everyone! We’ve came a long way since the days of Emily Pankhurst and the suffragettes, but we’ve equally still got a long way to go! I challenge all men in our profession to call out sexism and misogyny when they see it, and fight for equality.
