    Our thoughts today are with the family and loved ones of Firefighter Stephen Hunt. He tragically lost his life six years ago while fighting a fire in the city centre. ♥️

    So sad to hear that our crews have been attacked tonight 😞💥. Fireworks throw at firefighters Ashton and stones thrown in Manchester - fortunately there are no injuries 🚒🚨. Thank you to all of our amazing firefighters that are working tirelessly this evening ❤️#BonfireNight

    Following the devastating news about our colleague Dan Lee, our CFO has issued a statement. Please respect the privacy of Dan’s family at this difficult time. RIP Dan
    GMFRS Chief Fire Officer, Dave Russel, said: “Everyone at GMFRS is shocked and deeply saddened by the untimely death of our colleague Watch Manager Dan Lee. “Our thoughts are with Dan’s family and friends, as they have been over the past few days as the search for him has taken place. This is a tragic end to a very difficult week and not the outcome we all so desperately hoped for. “On behalf of GMFRS, I want to thank Greater Manchester Police for their efforts in the search for Dan, as well as colleagues across GMFRS and residents and partners from across our city region who have supported the search. “Dan, who served with GMFRS for 16 years, was a popular and valued member of our GMFRS family and he will be greatly missed."

    Since 5pm we have been out to more than 80 incidents. Really busy for our crews. Many of these are unattended bonfires or kids thinking it is smart to set stuff on fire - it isn't. Big shout out to our crews working hard out there ❤️💪 #BonfireNight
