Our thoughts are with those who served and also those who lost their lives this day on the 6th of June 1944, D Day.
Gone but never Forgotten.
We will remember them.

Yesterday evening and into the early hours of this morning, we were Mobilised to the Blackwell area of Bromsgrove, to a derelict building fire well alight.
The incident was well established on our arrival, however we were tasked to deliver CAFS through a main jet to assist in knocking the fire back and prevent fire spread.

The incident was scaled back and we were eventually released at around 02:45hrs.
At its peak the incident was raised to Make Pumps 10 alongside a number of specialist resources such as the Water Carrier, Aerial Ladder Platform, Incident Support Vehicle and Command Support Unit.

The crew eventually left station at around 04:00hrs.

This evening the crew organised a bit of a team building/fitness event.
We located ourselves down to Upton Park where there are recreational facilities including a tarmac football pitch!
90 Minutes of Football later and a score totally unknown as we lost count! We finished up.
It was Great to meet up outside of work and spend time having laughs, have a bit of friendly competition to try and win but ultimately build on what is already a strong team bond.

Some of us were good…… some of us were extremely questionable BUT it was taking part, having a great time, having fun and bonding at the same time that counted!

Thanks also to Callum, Sam, Sian, Riley and Arlo for providing brilliant commentary and questionable team advice and retrieving the ball when it decided to go “outside the boundary” 😀
