We practiced BA & hose reel techniques during a simulated search & rescue exercise in a smoke (artificial) filled building tonight. This training keeps skills sharp in readiness for operational use!
Remember to test your smoke alarms!

I was lucky to visit @fire_scot Mallaig Fire Station yesterday. A very positive and dedicated crew who have attended a few challenging incidents recently. Also absolutely spectacular scenery!!!

A busy spell in the Highlands with wildfires across the area. The commitment made by our on call crews to deal with these challenging incidents in rural locations cannot be understated. Could you support your community by being an on call firefighter? myjobscotlsnd.gov.uk

Visit to Acharacle Stn, really positive crew keen to expand role and deliver more. Good to hear SC Robb interviewed 3 candidates for Acharacle last night at Strontian station and SC Stevenson visited Dunvegan. Great to see this engagement with the teams in the Highland West area.
