We are a group of local volunteers who respond to emergency calls alongside East Midlands Ambulance Service. Always call 999 in an emergency.

Community First Responders often live in the community they serve and can offer life saving treatment quickly.

Happy International Control Room week to our heroes in headsets at East Midlands Ambulance Service - whether answering the call for help or managing resources from CFRs to Helicopters the people behind the headset often don’t get the credit they deserve! We’d be lost without you so this week is all about you! 📞 ☎️ 🚑 Also a shout out to our headset colleagues in other emergency services too 👏🏻

⚠️ Our service is currently experiencing exceptionally high demand and colleagues are working tirelessly to care for patients across the region. Before calling 999, please consider whether one of the following services may be more appropriate:

💊 Your local pharmacy for advice, minor illnesses and many common conditions.

📱 NHS 111 online or by phone if you need urgent medical advice and are unsure where to go.

👨‍⚕️ Your GP practice for routine or ongoing healthcare needs.

🏥 Urgent treatment centres and minor injury units for illnesses and injuries that require prompt attention but are not life-threatening.

This helps keep our emergency ambulances available for people who are reported to be in a life-threatening condition. For example, when someone is unconscious, not breathing, experiencing a cardiac arrest or stroke.

Our emergency service is very busy this evening. Staff and volunteers on the road and in our control rooms are working hard to get to patients waiting for an ambulance as quickly as possible.

Please help by accessing the right service for your needs - only use 999 in a genuine emergency where life is on the line.

If it's urgent or you're not sure, please use NHS 111.

In an emergency, every second counts.

As the nights draw in, could we find your house in the dark?

It’s worth lighting up your door number and also making sure it’s visible from the road in daylight too.

Pupils at a village primary school have taken part in a water safety workshop at Frisby Lakes to warn them about the dangers of swimming in rivers and lakes ahead of the school summer holidays.
The initiative was organised by Asfordby Captain’s Close Primary School and it also involved members of the emergency services, police officers and first responders.
Details in report in comments.

As the summer holidays begin and more children spend time outdoors, we’re encouraging everyone to enjoy the warm weather safely. ☀️

While it may be tempting to cool off in lakes and rivers, open water can be dangerous. Depths can be hard to judge, and hidden hazards beneath the surface can cause serious injury.

Please remember that the Country Park lakes are not safe for people or pets to enter.

If your children are spending more time outdoors this summer, take a moment to talk to them about water safety and the risks of entering open water.
