Please don't leave dogs locked in cars. Even on cloudy days, the temperature reached inside the car could cause stress, harm and possibly death to your animal.

RSPCA (England & Wales) has useful advice of what to do if you see a dog in a car on a warm day:

Your tyres are essential for maintaining control and stability while driving. Make it a habit to inspect them at least once a month for cuts, bulges, and other signs of damage. #CheckTyres #TyreDamage #TyreSafety

With the warmer longer days, we want you all to be able to keep safe this summer. Whether you’re planning a BBQ with friends, a family camping trip or an evening walk by the river, we have provided a few simple guidelines to help keep you safe. northantsfire.gov.uk/safe4summer-ca…

Having a #BBQ ?
Help prevent wheelie bin fires by not discarding hot coals/ash until thoroughly cold. Allow ashes to cool completely or pour water onto them.

Do you know how to stay safe in water? 🌊

If you’re heading out to enjoy the sun this weekend, remember to #FloatToLive if you find yourself struggling in cold water.

NFRS Station Manager and Inclusion Officer Ash Tugby was proud to be a guest speaker at this Fire Pride Conference to talk about the importance of being an ally.

We are committed to inclusion and challenging discrimination both within the workplace but in our communities.

Worn tyres reduce your vehicle's grip on the road, especially in wet or icy conditions. Don't compromise your safety—keep an eye on your tyre tread depth using a tread depth gauge or the quick and easy 20p test. #CheckTyres #TreadDepth #20pTest

A FREE road safety community event will be held at Northampton's Abington Park, between 10am-2pm this Saturday (May 18).
We will also be there with a fire engine and a crew providing road safety advice. Please come over and chat with our firefighters!

Thinking of visiting the river this weekend?

Rivers are great places to have fun, but remember - it might be warm outside, but the water is still cold.

Did you know? Over 6 million tyres in the UK have illegal tread annually, risking fines of up to £2,500 per tyre and 3 penalty points. Don't risk it! Keep your tyres legal and your journeys safe. #TyreSafety #RoadSafety

UK Fire Cadets are supporting the call to reduce stigma, promote understanding, and empower young people to prioritise their mental health. We love the tools, activities and ideas on the @childline_official website all designed to help you feel calmer childline.org.uk

Hoarding is a recognised mental health diagnosis. It significantly increases the risk of a fire at home and can hamper your ability to escape.
