Our firefighters and support staff joined the rest of the country this morning to pause for a minute's silence in memory of the 52 people who lost their lives ten years ago in the 7 July bombings. We also remember all those who lost loved ones and pay tribute to the incredible acts of bravery by all the emergency services who attended that day.

  • Val Newman Shame you picked the Hounslow scheme to illustrate the FB's involvement - the Wandsworth Scheme (ROSPA approved) was one of the first and is held using proper scenarios where the importance of the message becomes far more realistic than in a tent -
