In the next few days one of our longest serving Firefighters, Roger Dumford, hangs up his PPE after more than 37 years. Roger, Watch Manager at Uppingham Station, was presented with an Award from the High Sheriff of Rutland Susannah Fish yesterday. Happy Retirement Roger!

Our Firefighters have been battling to extinguish a fire at St Andrew's Church throughout the night, after multiple calls came in before midnight.
Thankfully, there have been no casualties and all persons have been accounted for, but sadly the church roof is severely damaged.

Tragically, three more Firefighters have died while tackling the wildfires sweeping Europe, this time on the island of Crete and on the Greek mainland. Our hearts go out to their families, and to the Hellenic Fire Corps, at this terrible time.

The Service lost one of its own yesterday. It is with deep regret we announce that our colleague, friend, and Watch Manager, Jon Partridge, sadly passed away yesterday after a medical emergency.
We are devastated and shocked at the tragic loss, and Jon will be greatly missed.

It’s with the deepest regret that we have heard of the death of Beccy Barr - mother, firefighter and invaluable member of the FRSAs executive committee. We will very much miss Beccy’s energy and enthusiasm. On behalf of all in the FRSA we offer our profound sympathy to Beccy’s family, friends and colleagues.
I’m sharing the very sad news that Beccy passed away peacefully this morning. She spent her last few days at @SJHospice who provided the most dignified & compassionate care to Beccy & her whole family. Donations to the hospice can be made in Beccy’s memory. ❤️

There are changes we must make to address issues across our ageing estate. For example, we have hundreds of buildings without dignified facilities or sufficient showering facilities.
Doing nothing is not an option.
Help to shape our #FireScotFuture.
