Truly amazing the work you do. Thank you from us all ’┐Į’┐Į

This is just to say a very big thank you to the amazing guys and lady of the Fire service that came out today to my house in Glodwick, Oldham and saved the day. I can't thank you enough. May God bless each and every one of you for what you do. Your are much appreciated.

They are true hero's who willingly risk their lives everytime they're on duty to protect complete strangers. I've never had to use their expertise and in the nicest way possible i hope i never will.

These men and ladies work so hard and are appreciated a lot. Thank you for your hard work - particularly at the moment with the moorland fires. Please all stay safe and hydrated - you are all valuable and irreplaceable

These guys are the best and did an amazing job today in two properties in swinton. That where both set on purpose. So from all of us thank you guys you stopped it from being a lot worse that what it could have been! Even after you have just done a shift at winterhill! You guys are amazing and do a fab job and never ask for anything in return x

The work our amazing firefighters are doing right now to stop the wild fires is beyond amazing and I for one am very grateful to all of them for all their hard work and commitment to keeping us safe. It's much appreciated.

Thank you so much stalybridge for freeing me at 35 weeks pregnant and my partner from a lift this evening. So grateful ’┐Į

Thank you so much for saving my house last night!! Super quick to the rescue after some kids set fire to my garden hedge especially with all the fires currently going on. Massive respect to all the firefighters

Thank you for trying to save Winter Hill and all the wildlife, nature and residents. Truly grateful of you all. Stay safe.

Thank you all for the amazing job you do xx love and respect to each and every one of you ’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į

Massive thank you to Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service even though my property wasn't effected the crews tackled 2 fires one on my road (Swinton Hall Road) and one at the back (Not sure if it was Milner Street), these lads had just come off a night shift at Winterhill.



I didn't get which stations they came from so am hoping this gets back to the ones who attended.



Fires are now out and no one was hurt luckily.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to the fire crew driving through Urmston on Friday afternoon clearly on their way to an emergency but the whole team waved back to my boys who were so excited to see them. My eldest was sporting my DadŌĆÖs (John Butterworth - fireman for 30 years Heywood/ Rochdale) old GMC fire helmet and has his heart set on being a fireman just like his Grandad. You absolutely made his day!

Just want to say, despite the headlines coming in...I stand with our emergency services...You all do an amazing job!!... ’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į

I want to thank you for the crew that came out to our house. If it wasn't for them my house would of been up in flames after kids thought it was great idea to set our garden on fire. They where so quick I was shocked with all the fires going on and even gave us smoke alarms. I can't express enough how greatful I am and they deserve so much appreciation.

I had to call the fire crew out today after My stupid car!! Was leaving my mum's a put my daughter in the car and shut to door to go to the boot to put the pram in and my car locked with harper inside it, I tryed to smash the back window but it wouldn't go threw had to ring the fire brigade to smash my window and get her out but then they had to get the ambulance to check her’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į’┐Įthey said it had gone into dead lock mode or whatevee he said it wouldn't even unlocked when they smashed the window the fireman had to clime in and get her ’┐Į’┐Į they was so good can't thank them enuff they definitely don't get enuff credit for what they do !! The real life life savers!! I don't no there names only they came from chadderton and called green watch I thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for today ’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į

Do an amazing job all year round. Put their lives on the line everyday. Keep safe guys while tackling the fire on Saddleworth.

Bolton should be proud of your brigade tonight! They have really gone and above and beyond at our neighbours house tonight. Thanks guys!!

Big up to Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) tonight, after Grenfell the block of flats I live in had a fire alarm installed, tonight there was a small kitchen fire in one of the flats, the alarm went off and within minutes we had 6 fire engines, paramedics and police. Thankfully it was nothing serious but GMFRS, NHS North West Ambulance Service & GMP did us proud. Big thank you to all those that responded

Always loved the Fire Service! I must say Wythenshawe FireFighters Work extremely hard having lived opposite the Fire Station all my life they are always there to help with incidents even outside on the Road. Both myself and 3 Firemen helped a lady in distress last week who had broken down outside my house and they were right there to help! Everyday my 17 month old baby boy watches and waves when they are doing their checks! The Firefighters are always there to wave and smile! I am keen to join you guys at GMFRS and I just hope I am successful after a lifetime of wanting to join. Thanks in particular to Red Watch at Wythenshawe for always making sure you acknowledge my little boy who IŌĆÖm sure will follow suit into the Brigade as he is just obsessed with you! The Firefighters were even there in 1968 trying to resuscitate my Grandad after having a heart attack in my very living room and I am very proud to have lived opposite you guys all of my life. Big Thanks ’┐Į
