Farmers

We know Oxfordshire’s farming community work so hard to protect farms, crops, livestock and machinery, and that preventing fires is already a priority for many. Your farm is your livelihood, and with the hot, dry weather continuing, a few extra precautions can help reduce the risk of fire and limit the impact if one does occur.

A few steps can make a big difference:

✅ Keep machinery clean, serviced and well maintained
✅ Make sure emergency services can easily find and access your farm
✅ Ensure water supplies and hydrants are accessible
✅ Have contingency plans in place, including fire breaks and water bowsers where available
✅ Store hay bales, fertilisers and pesticides safely and securely

If a fire does occur, call 999 immediately and provide clear location details to help emergency services respond quickly.

For more practical advice, take a look at our Farmland Safety and Fire Prevention booklet.

Unfortunately our eagerly anticipated open day is postponed due operational demands. Watch this space for a new date!!

As the weather gets hotter, rivers, lakes and reservoirs can look tempting.
But even on a hot day, the water can be dangerously cold, causing cold water shock in seconds.

Fifteen young people across the country have already lost their lives this summer.

A simple conversation after school or college today could help your child make safer choices and avoid a tragedy in your family.
