  4. 🧵 I can’t cry as easily as I used to in former times. Watching our news footage of the fires in the south-west, the tears just streamed down my face.

    The persistence of the #firefighters and #rescue workers, often followed by trauma that will last a lifetime. How they are left in the lurch by a government that has cut back on everything for years and failed to act.

    Just like during the pandemic. We haven’t learnt anything from the fact that, at some point, the rescuers themselves need to be

  6. We need more caring and kindness in this world as displayed by these firefighters saving someone’s furbabies after they had already lost their home and would be heartbroken to lose them too!

    "Un travail essentiel, pour des pompiers qui sont dans le combat et ont besoin de ce soutien logistique. Sylvie Laloubère s'étonne : "Souvent, ils nous disent merci. Et là je les regarde et je leur dis : mais merci à vous, surtout ! Et ils me disent : mais non, sans vous on n'est rien. Et là, les bras m'en tombent ! Chaque fois je me dis que ces pompiers ont une humanité incroyable", raconte-t-elle. "

  11. 7 fire fighting planes picking up water to fight the enormous forest fires in France.

    I truly love and admire these guys. Used to see them practice in Antibes and saw them help fighting a forest fire close to our office in Villeneuve loubet when I was working as contractor for Texas Instruments.

    They are true heroes, with amazing skills saving lives.

    PS. I've never seen 7 of them active at the same time

  14. One day, it won’t just be hospital staff who are exhausted for years, but #firefighters too. We have absolutely no idea how traumatic it must be on duty during #wildfires. And not only firefighters: all helpers in such situations.

  17. In Jan 2025 when wildfires were raging in California, Canada sent more than 250 firefighters to help fight these fires. Now that Canada needs help, we threaten them with tariffs? What a piece of SHIT we have for our POTUS! Shame on us for electing such a filthy piece of garbage. A pox on ALL MAGA and GOP supporters.

  19. Another, longer video and more information about about the pigeon being tended to by the Oakland Firefighters, E29 Crew. In it, you can see that the pidgie's beak is open and it's panting heavily. This was during a heat wave, and the nearby car fire and smoke didn't help.

    An alarmed pigeon would have made an effort to fly or at least move away, but this one waited quietly on the ground, while a firefighter gave it oxygen through a mask designed especially for animals. 🩶 🧑‍🚒 🔥

    The video is by the Oakland Firefighters Local 55 E29 Crew and was posted by the BBC World Service.

  22. The E29 crew of Oakland Firefighters Local 55 answered a call to put out a vehicle fire, after which a pigeon came up to them in distress. It appeared to have suffered smoke inhalation from the burning vehicle, so they administered oxygen. The bird flew safely away once its lungs were cleared out. 🩶
