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.

Our fire dog Sherlock and his handler Paul (left), recently undertook two comprehensive training days alongside LFB colleague Mick Boyle with fire dogs Murphy and Roscoe (right) and Tim Richmond and fire dog Reggie from Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (middle).
The training was led by Clive Gregory who set up fire investigation dogs in the UK and included searches covering a range of scenarios including open area searches, building searches and searches in densely vegetated areas that allowed the trainers to test the dogs’ ability to indicate areas of interest even if they couldn’t get direct access to a hide.
