๐Ÿ”ฅ Taking firefighting to new heights! ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Rachel Smith travelled to Lake Garda in Italy to take on the Lift on Fire challenge, representing Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service and the UK.

The challenge involves climbing a steep mountain lift service stairway while under air. ๐Ÿ’ช

A seriously tough challenge, with an incredible view waiting at the top!

Well done, Rachel! ๐Ÿ‘โค๏ธ

๐Ÿ’‰๐Ÿ‚ Flu can be serious, particularly for older people, young children, pregnant women and those with long-term health conditions. Our councillors and senior leaders rolled up their sleeves for flu jabs helping to protect themselves, their families and local communities this winter. If you're eligible for a free NHS flu vaccine, get protected, it's never been easier.

๐Ÿ“† You'll be invited when it's your turn, but you don't always need to wait for an invitation to book.

Would everyone in your household know what to do if flooding affected your area?

A simple flood plan could include:

๐Ÿ“ฑ Important contact numbers
๐Ÿถ Arrangements for pets
๐Ÿ“ Safe places to go if you need to leave home
๐Ÿ”ฆ Where your emergency supplies are kept

Talking about it now means less uncertainty if flooding happens.

๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ Ending the FireFit season on a high! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ”ฅ

The team headed to Hungary for the final European FireFit competition of the year, and came home with some brilliant results:

๐Ÿฅ‰ Detti Balla โ€“ 3rd overall and 2nd in her age category
๐Ÿฅ‰ Amy Lynex โ€“ 3rd in her age category and 4th overall
๐Ÿฅ‡ Detti, Amy and Teresa โ€“ Female Relay, competing as a team of three against teams of four and five!
๐Ÿฅˆ Amy and Teresa โ€“ Female Tandem
๐Ÿฅ‰ Detti โ€“ Mixed Tandem
๐Ÿ”ฅ Amy and Sam โ€“ a new mixed tandem personal best
๐Ÿ”ฅ Sam โ€“ a huge individual course personal best, edging even closer to his sub-90-second goal!

For Detti, who was born in Hungary, the competition had an extra significance. Women in Hungary are not currently able to work as whole-time firefighters, something Detti passionately feels is unfair. Competing and achieving on Hungarian soil made her results all the more special.

Now itโ€™s time for some well-earned rest and recovery before the team starts building towards next year. ๐Ÿ‘

What a way to finish the season! โค๏ธ

๐Ÿšซ Never underestimate flood water.

Just 30cm of flowing water can be enough to move a vehicle, and flood water can hide hazards including open drains, debris and damaged road surfaces.

If your route is flooded:
โŒ Donโ€™t walk through it
โŒ Donโ€™t drive through it
โœ… Find an alternative route

Turn Around, Donโ€™t Drown.
