Tiffany Oarton would describe herself as a boomerang (it’s a good thing honestly), she worked for the Brigade back in 2016 before moving further afield to Africa
.
😊
.
But she couldn’t stay away and re-joined Brigade life in her dream role as Equalities Manager last year
.
🔥 .
Tiff said “I love exercise; running, yoga and pilates are my favourite ways to de-stress. The Brigade is such a brilliant place to work and there are facilities for all these things, so I get to do these at lunch times and before and after work”
.
🏃🏽‍♀️ 🧘🏻‍♀️ .
We know the idea of exercising might not be everyone’s favourite thing to do but it can really help your mental health too
.
🧠 .
So why not take a leaf out of Tiffany’s book and beat those Monday blues and focus on your physical and mental wellbeing
.
👍🏼

Dusting off your running shoes in the New Year? Take some inspiration from these fleet-footed firefighters.
👣
The London Fire Brigade Athletic Association was founded in 1889, and aimed to encourage staff to take part in competitions and help develop future champions. Firefighters and their families were encouraged to attend and join in.
🏃🏾🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏼‍♂️
Pictured above are London firefighters competing in the 100 yard race in the White City Stadium in 1958, and we're proud to say our firefighters still display impressive athleticism in cross country races, marathons and more.

This #WednesdayWisdom we’re letting you know about the amazing team behind our Technical Rescue and Hose Workshop.
.
👨‍🚒👩‍🚒
.
Did you know we’re the only fire and rescue service in the UK that is classed as a hose manufacturer? This means that we couple our hose at our workshop, incorporating an extra failsafe in the process other manufacturers don’t usually provide.
.
🚒🔥
.
And when our hose gets damaged, the team is there to help fix them. Just like fixing a bicycle tyre, they fit an inner and outer patch to the damaged area, allowing the hose to return to service!
.
🧗‍♀️🚣‍♂️
.
But it’s not just hose that they work with. They also maintain and certify all of our line and water rescue kits, ensuring that our rescue teams have the equipment they need to safely carry out their work.
.
🔧🧵 .
On top of all this, they also manufacture bespoke equipment for use in the Brigade. This includes the crash mats at the bottom of our fire poles, specialist equipment bags, covers for our breathing apparatus and so much more!
.
👨‍🚒👩‍🚒 .
You can find out more about the hose we use by clicking the link in our bio.

Training plays a crucial role for firefighters, but it doesn’t always take place at a location this impressive
.
🏛
.
The fire and salvage exercise shown here took place at the end of 2019. Our crews worked with the @historicroyalpalaces Salvage team at #HamptonCourtPalace
.
🚒
.
Station Commander Jon Singleton organised the exercise alongside Station Commander Garry Brown
.
👨🏻‍🚒👨🏼‍🚒
.
Jon said: “It was a really successful day. It was an opportunity to enhance our working practises with external partners. This produces a more co-ordinated and effective response should we be called to an incident at an iconic and historic building such as this”
.
👍🏼
.
Terry Crowdy, Fire and Safety Planning Adviser at Historic Royal Palaces, said: “As guardians of these magnificent palaces and the national treasures within them, it is vital we robustly test our major incident plans through joint training exercises
.
🏺
.
“This exercise at Hampton Court Palace also provided a useful opportunity for us to work with the local emergency services – including London Fire Brigade - enabling them to familiarise themselves with the 500-year old building and the practicalities of negotiating its vast estate”
.

Victoria Metz has 31 years service at London Fire Brigade, having joined in 1988 as an 18 year old woman when there were only 30 operational women firefighters nationally.
👩🏼‍🚒
Victoria says: “I’m motivated by helping people to better understand how menopause can impact on personal wellbeing. My own experience of the menopause has inspired me to put together the “Menopause Action Group” (MAG) within London Fire Brigade so that our staff can learn to better understand the symptoms and how to support each other.
👥
“Over the past few years I’ve campaigned to raise awareness, promoted the availability of natural fibre clothing, organised a range of events, given presentations to various departments throughout LFB and more recently to firefighters at borough training days. We now have a MAG support group to help women struggling with their symptoms or to give advice to ANYone.
👍🏾
“I’m currently running ‘menopause champions’ awareness sessions to a team of volunteers so that the support continues beyond my retirement in April. I would love for every team, station and department in LFB to have their own menopause champion, and that keeps me motivated – I’ll continue to push the conversation to raise awareness.”

New year, new hobby? .
🧑🏻‍🎨🏃🏾🚴🏼
.
This #throwbackthursday we’re talking all things sports. If you’re looking for a new hobby to kick start the year then we have a few weird and wonderful suggestions
.
👍🏼
.
Since the beginning of the 20th century we’ve held an annual Brigade sports day
.
👩🏻‍🚒👨🏽‍🚒
.
Sports days included events such as boxing, cycling, cricket, football and the tug of war as well as few more unusual events such as tilting the bucket and a wandering bandsmen race
.
🥊⚽️🏏
.
We may not hold a traditional sports day anymore but there’s still lots of sports and exercise groups at the Brigade that staff can join to keep fit but so far no tilting buckets club
.
💪🏻
