This issue of Firefighter features trailblazing, hijab wearing firefighter Uroosa Arshid, who says firefighters can look like me; the union’s first virtual one day conference with guest speaker NEU general secretary Kevin Courtney, speaking against pay review bodies; the union’s safety victory on high rise firefighting and the launch of the red plaque scheme website. In the news, MP Kate Osborne says ban fire and rehire, the FBU says no to the threat of PCCs taking over FRSs and a high-rise fire in Poplar highlights the need for action on flammable cladding. The union asks for all firefighters, both serving and retired, to sign up to the Firefighters Cancer and Disease registry to help save firefighters lives in the future.
