Leicestershire Fire And Rescue Service Eastern Station

Standards - great to see Central Fire Station maintaining standards, giving the Aerial Ladder Platform a jet down and performing checks following an incident in Leicester tonight. Rain or shine!!! #StormCiara

@LFRSEastern sent a crew covering shortness at Ashby Station today...so we had a play with their drill tower, learning some firefighting basics. Pumps and ladders, plus knots and lines to haul equipment aloft. #covers #training #ashby

@LeicsFireRescue working all day and night to ensure the fire Biffa Coalville is extinguished. Teaming up with their staff who have worked tirelessly #teamwork #fire #biffa #coalville

PLEASE THINK! Next time you consider going back into your vehicle after a crash, Un-deployed airbags can still activate! ...with enough force to shatter a windscreen 😱 #fatal4 #airbags #staysafe

ACO @FaintCallum was keen to wear a BA set on his 'back to the floor day'. BW simulated a BA emergency exercise at #LeicesterGeneralHospital. A productive exercise for all and a positive debrief. #notjustfires

Crews have attended a Fire Protection course today - helping us better identify what property owners should have in place to keep people and property safe. #prevention #fireprotection #saferpeople #saferplaces

#elfontheshelf have you looked at your fire extinguisher lately? What does it contain, and what can it be used on?
Elf says “PASS” .... Pull the pin to unlock. Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire. Squeeze the lever. Sweep from left to right

#elfonashelf visiting the fire station today, where will we find the elf next?!

Road Traffic Collision - a nasty incident attended by Red Watch today near Oakham. The gentleman was taken away by ambulance and our thoughts are with him and his family. We hope he makes a full recovery. In wet conditions please please please SLOW DOWN. #getwellsoon #bestwishes

Hazardous Materials (Hazmats) TRAINING exercise today at Goscote House - unknown substance that led to three adults becoming critically ill. Prepare for all possibilities #notjustfires #fireservice #saferpeople #saferplaces

Blue light drive 🚒 from one fire alarm to another. Fortunately both false alarms this time ...

LADDER FAIL! We’ve all seen some pretty crazy ideas when pitching ladders. So when you see Firefighters training over and over again putting up ladders, it’s so they go up FIRST TIME EVERY TIME in a safe and efficient way. #ladders #humour #fail #training #therewhenyouneedus
