Tragically, 8 teenagers have lost their lives during this period of hot weather.

We desperately hope this does not happen to anyone else - we are urging everyone to make sure they and their loved ones are aware of the dangers of water.

Remember:

💧 Water is often deeper and stronger than it looks
💧There may be hidden currents
💧There may be hazards lying beneath the surface
💧 If you fall into water by accident, follow the float to live advice

Hot weather can be more dangerous than many people realise.

Every year, extreme heat leads to serious illness and preventable deaths. Here's some simple advice to keep you safe:

💧 Drink plenty of water
🧢 Avoid the midday sun
🏠 Keep your home cool
👵 Check in on vulnerable friends, family, and neighbours
❌ DO NOT swim in open water without a life-guard present.
🥵 Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heatstroke too - it could save a life.

A massive thank you to Eton Tyres who provided an incredible service to us yesterday.

One of our response vehicles suffered a puncture. They secured an identical tyre and had us back on the road within hours. They have very kindly agreed to keep a spare in stock specifically for our vehicle ensuring we remain available to respond to incidents. They offer a 24/7 service.

A local company delivering a 1st class service within Burton. Thank you.
