BRITISH firefighters sent a message of solidarity to their Belgian counterparts yesterday in the wake of the Brussels bombing.
The Fire Brigades Union paid tribute to the bravery of its sister union’s members in dealing with the fallout of Tuesday’s terror attack.
General secretary Matt Wrack wrote: “Belgian firefighters are a source of pride and admiration in how they conducted themselves throughout the atrocity and took care of the dead and injured.
“FBU members had similar experiences with the 7/7 bombings, when 52 innocent people were killed in a terror attack.”
TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady has also sent a message of “sympathy and solidarity” to Belgian trade unionists.
Ms O’Grady, who was in Brussels on Tuesday, said: “These appalling attacks, which have had such an impact on people at work or travelling to work, are an assault on freedom and community solidarity.”
