Wow that was a busy week. 9 jobs in total and due to several requests at the same time we're grateful to Tim and Barney for helping out on their week off

On the mend, bandage off Wednesday and healing well. Feeling more lively and even helped out with some research yesterday. @WestMidsFire
Today Barney and Ginny were at Derby university helping out with sample testing. We had a surprise visit from @WMFSFireDog Giddy who we can report is recovering well
Man down!! Thoughts and prayers for @WMFSFireDog Giddy who has had to have stitches to a leg wound she suffered on this morning's walk
Hopefully no jobs today so Ginny can stay at home and play in the snow. If you're out and about driving please take care on the roads.
We're saddened to hear of the loss of one of our friends this week. When you work together for so long the loss is felt deeply. The thoughts of everyone @MidsDog are with Nikki and her family
Barney is getting in the spirit and settling down to support @BBCCiN tonight
Special surprises for Ginny today. Following a trip to @PetsatHome for a new collar, 3 new friends have joined the family
Well done to Barney and Tim this week as they have successfully passed their relicensing course with @syptweet
Last week we were working at height. This week Ginny and Barney have been practicing their boat skills. Special thanks to @nottsfire Highfields station for allowing us to join their training session.

We couldn't let #InternationalDogDay go by without a shout out to the working end of the team
Thanks to @lintranK9Ltd for assisting barny this week fitting a new escape hatch to his dog crate allowing a safe exit if he is involved in an accident
After Barney and Ginny spent the day at Skegness fire station open day what better way to relax than a swim in the sea
