   The tweet is on in Salford
People in Salford can now find out more about what the fire service is doing in their local area by using Twitter. A new Twitter profile has been set up by Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) called SalfordFireTeam, updating people about fire safety, community activity and anything of particular interest. It is aimed at anyone who lives, works or visits Salford. As well as providing an additional channel of information, the Service wants the public to be able to contact them about issues that are important to them. The profile is being managed by GMFRS Community Safety Advisor Melanie Bowling. She said: "We do a lot of fantastic work in our local community in Salford and we wanted to reflect this to its full potential on social media. We know there are many people locally using Twitter so we decided to take our news to where they are and join the online community. "We'll be using our new profile to highlight what we are doing throughout the borough, along with fire safety messages and the work we are doing with local partners. "I hope this will give people a better understanding of the wide range of work the fire service is involved in and help us be more accessible to the public."
