Last week at our all staff briefing, we were lucky enough to hear first-hand from Ally and Andy about our partnership with the incredible @fire_scot - who help us save lives by recruiting young people to the stem cell register 💚
Last week, @andywattSFRS and were invited to speak about the @fire_scot partnership at @AnthonyNolan all staff summer briefing. What a privilege to share the room with some fabulous speakers and the incredible lifesaving team from Anthony Nolan.🙌🏻🚒💚

Our crew at RAF Valley were honoured and delighted to welcome HRH The Prince of Wales earlier this week and to demonstrate how they respond to a crash scenario.
From training the UK's next generation of world-class fighter pilots to being the HQ for the RAF Mountain Rescue Service, RAF Valley does so much and is the only @RoyalAirForce base in Wales.

Today marks 15 years since Firefighter Ewan Williamson lost his life during firefighting operations at the Balmoral Bar, Edinburgh in 2009.
A commemorative service was attended by Ewan’s fire and rescue service colleagues, family and close friends.

‘Unless you’ve been directly helped by a stem cell transplant or know someone who has been, not many people would know about the register. About 20 people came up to chat and thank me for sharing my story afterwards.’
Meet Erin, the 20,000th donor who signed up due to @fire_scot!
Steve Gourlay retweeted
How do you even begin to understand the impact this has had on 26,500 desperately ill patients and their families. Just incredible! One day I will need a transplant to save my life and, with no matches in my family, my only hope lies in @AnthonyNolan finding a match for me.💚
It's #WorldTransplantDay!
Every day people are given second chances of life via transplants across the world - and we've been able to facilitate over 26,500 stem cell transplants in the last 50 years!
A huge thank you to every single one of our amazing donors 💚

We are so sad to hear of the death of Rob Burrow. Like Doddie, Rob has been a true inspiration for people living with MND. Our thoughts are with Lindsey, their children and all Rob's family and friends.

Outstanding effort from the @EasternSFRS2024 cyclists as they completed their 600 mile tour of all the fire stations in the @fire_scot East SDA at Tollcross this afternoon. The weather hasn’t been good to them but our staff, family and friends certainly have. Well done Team 👍🏻
