We're urging everyone to make sure nothing is ever placed on the hob, even when not in use, and flammable materials such as tea towels or plastic containers are kept well away from your cooker. Itโ€™s really easy for an accidental fire to start and quickly spread out of control.

If you ever fall into water, fight your instinct to thrash around. Lean back, extend your arms and legs, and move them gently to help you float until you can control your breathing. Then shout for help or swim to safety. #FloatToLive
