Thanking our ‘heroes in headsets’ this Control Room Week
We want to thank all our amazing Control Room staff across the UK's fire services community for all they do - and for being that constant voice of calm.
We want to thank all our amazing Control Room staff across the UK's fire services community for all they do - and for being that constant voice of calm. An on-call crew from Pitlochry Fire Station in Scotland discuss the pressures of on-call firefighting and how they manage their own mental health. A suite of resources is now available for anyone worried about themselves or someone else, or who has been impacted by a death by suicide. Our Welfare Services Lead, Carrie Pearce, has shared information, support and tips around caring for someone living with Alzheimer’s. Today we join the rest of the UK in celebrating the incredible efforts by all those in our emergency services.
