If you find yourself in trouble in water, you can help yourself get to safety by learning to float. Floating minimises your risk of gasping uncontrollably & breathing in water, which can quickly lead to drowning.

Cigarette ends can smoulder undetected for hours if not put out properly. If you're tired or have been drinking it's safer to smoke outside or standing at an open window or external door.

Did you know that wildfires are mostly started by thoughtless or accidental behaviours?

•Careless disposal of cigarettes
•Unattended BBQs and open fires/campfires
•Fires not extinguished properly
•Sunlight magnified by glass bottles

Let's prevent wildfires!

Keep yourself and your mates safe. Jumping into water has risks. Water depths can change and there could be hidden debris. Every year people need rescuing, suffer serious injuries, or even die because they jump into the unknown.
#BeWaterAware

Simple checks that can save your life! 💡Ensure you have RCD protection in your fusebox. Check plugs, sockets and light fittings are not visibly damaged and ensure you are not storing combustible materials around your fusebox.

The national message is to call 999.

This is because there are some areas of the UK where you need to ask for the police or HM Coastguard on inland waterways.
