The call to stop the cuts was loud and clear. Great speeches from the Brigade officials about the impact this will have on their service.

My daughter @Baigers, a cancer survivor, is part of the FBU campaign #DECONFBU
Thank you to my union for starting this project and the research behind it and the lives it will save.

Current or former firefighter? Do you have 5 mins to spare? Researchers @UCLan have launched the UK’s first nationwide database to assess exposure to fire toxicants and the increased occurrence of #cancers among #firefighters. @fbunational @LancsHospitals.

Great teamwork went into this launch: UCLan research team, our fantastic Comms team; our live-stream partners, Essex FRS for hosting us at Basildon; all those FRSs who assisted the research…and above all - the firefighters who made it all possible.
