Today we’ve spent out afternoon in local water hot spots, it was nice to see people enjoying the area safely but please see the pictures that highlight some of the hidden dangers under the surface as well as cold water shock. #staysafestayout

Big thanks to Hanson cements for facilitating us practicing some of our rope skills and trying out the SKYLOTEC powered ascender so we can see how we can integrate it into rescues at height amongst other areas of technical rescue within the service #Innovation #notjustfires

Combining two disciplines today with breaking and breaching and working at height. An added bonus was LFRS_ Health Fitness & Wellbeing coming down to check in on everyone and brought 🍰 which we exchanged for some bristols so they could have a go.

Interesting week so far and there’s still 2 days left, responding to a variety of incidents as well as some multi agency work with our partners developing skills and learning new skills, ensuring we continually evolve to risks we are presented with.
