If you get into difficulty in the water, remember #FloatToLive …

· Tilt your head back with ears submerged.
· Relax, breathe normally.
· Move your hands to help you stay afloat.

Once your breathing is controlled, call for help or swim to safety.

If you’re planning on spending some time on the moors, please remember to:

🚫 NEVER have a barbecue or fire in the countryside

🚫 NEVER set off fireworks in the countryside

Happy St George's Day 🐉
We're pretty sure our firefighters won't be facing a fire breathing dragon today but we're sure they'll be busy across the city region keeping Greater Manchester safe!

Really Proud to be a very small part of Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service’s 50th Anniversary celebrations. Those that know me know how much I love this job.
It’s all I ever wanted to do from being a kid! See pic in comments for proof 🤣👇🏼 🚒 #AchieveYourDreams

We wish our Jewish communities a joyful and safe #Passover ! A few tips to stay safe:

✅Ensure candles are placed in a sturdy holder away from flammable materials
❌Don’t use aluminium foil in the microwave
❌Don't overload sockets

Last week our Protection team worked with housing provider Pendleton Together, visiting residents to discuss the benefits of sprinkler protection in their homes and answer questions

If you see someone in trouble in the water, remember this lifesaving advice:
📞 Call 999 and ask for fire if inland or the coastguard if by the sea
🗣️ Tell them to float on their back
✅ Throw something to help them float
