Last night crews were called to a fire in a sub-basement laundry room at a hotel in #Cricklewood. Around 180 people evacuated from the hotel before the Brigade arrived and no injuries are reported. orlo.uk/MZQDd

Today on #999Day we're sadly revealing new data which shows that our firefighters and Control Officers are increasingly suffering from regular incidents of offensive behaviour. Just last week, a firefighter was bitten by a resident while attending a fire orlo.uk/7A237

Twenty one years ago today 343 firefighters lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks - much-loved family members and friends who would never return home.
Today, we remember them and all the victims of these attacks.
I don't often get soppy on here... but FF Cuthbert is to date the biggest loss of experience, guidance and friendship I've experienced.

The first picture is taken from an open day in 1975. The second picture is a final combination drill for Firefighter Jim Cuthbert - who retires on the morning of the 30th of August.

Incredibly sad, my thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues.

If you wondered what it's like to be close to a grass fire, take a look at this video showing just how quickly they can spread. This is what our crews have faced frequently in recent weeks. Help to prevent grass fires - don't BBQ in parks & dispose of cigarettes & glass properly

In the 1st three months of 2022, the LFB attended 19 incidents where pumps were made 8 or above.
However, since Tuesday this week, the LFB has attended 18 incidents where pumps have been made 8 or above.
That’s quite astounding…

My thoughts are with the bereaved, survivors and relatives from the horrific fire in Grenfell tower 5 years ago today, and with the brave firefighters, officers and control staff from @LondonFire and @metpoliceuk and @Ldn_Ambulance. A night that has changed us forever 💔💚💔💚

The fifth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire is a week today.
The shocking revelations from the inquiry have been heard by too few. So here is a thread which I will update over the next few days with some of the things you may have missed:

Firefighter Anthony Marshall was just 26 when he was killed in the line of duty in 1981. He left behind a wife, Cheryl, and a one year old son, John.
Today, we were joined by his family to unveil a Red Plaque for him. His sacrifice will always be remembered.

Here is our round up of an extraordinary week at the Grenfell Inquiry, led by a quote which quite neatly sums up the state's attitude before and after the fire
