#OnThisDay in 2017, we awarded search and rescue dog Bryn the #PDSAOrderofMerit 🏅 Bryn worked alongside @CheshireFire, he was deployed to building collapses, missing persons’ searches and gas explosions. Sadly, in 2019 Bryn passed away 😥❤️ Let's celebrate this pawsome pooch 👇

Fire stations across @CheshireFire are either staffed or equipped with an emergency telephone that will put you through to the control room. Everybody has the right to feel safe, if ever you need a #safespace you will always be welcome to visit or pick up the emergency telephone.

I thought my number was up last night! Attempted to pull this vehicle over to the hard shoulder and the driver decided to stop in lane 3! If an emergency vehicle with blue lights is behind you, move to the left and they will either pass you or follow you onto the hard shoulder.

If you leave your mobile phone, laptop, tablet or e-cigarette charging overnight, you could wake up to a fire. Play it safe and leave them unplugged!

We’ve just made our 8,000th medicine delivery to those that are currently unable to get out. Big thanks to our @ChFRSPrevention, Protection, CYP, @safetycentralCH and @FireApprentices teams who are always ready to support the #Covid19 community response in Cheshire.
Our thoughts are with the officer's family, friends and our colleagues at the Metropolitan Police.
One of our police officers has sadly died after being shot by a man who was being detained in police custody in early this morning in Croydon. Officers are in the process of informing members of the officer’s family. news.met.police.uk/news/murd…
