Out tonight assisting Balmoral Castle & Estate Rangers on Camper Patrols in the Loch Muick Area. 4 groups spoken to and advised of their actions, which they swiftly dealt with. At this time of “High Fire Risk” please adhere to to the signs, “No Camp Fires & no BBQ’s allowed”.

Out on the Hill today carrying out our Annual 1 Day Refresher Course for our Polaris, and just had to demonstrate a Failed Hill Ascent. Great day and a high standard of driving by the candidates. #SFRS

A career with @fire_scot could cover anything from administration, finance or ICT, to showing visitors around a museum or speaking to young people in the community. Whatever skills you bring, you could find a future with the SFRS.

With calving well under way on many farms and lambing about to start, just like to remind farmers/crofters the importance of fire safety at this busy time especially using heat lamps, make sure they are secured, and not at risk of falling. @NicolaMcAlley m.youtube.com/watch?v=jy52bc…

As part off @fire_scot spring TAP, we would like to remind Farmers/crofters and land managers to contact Scottish Fire and Rescue Service control and notify us off any control burning to save any unnecessary deployment off appliances. #SpringSafety
