How many devices do you have plugged into one extension lead right now? 👀

With the heat, it's tempting to power fans, aircon and chargers all at once...
But overloaded extension leads can start fires.

Unplug what you're not using and stay safe. 🔌🔥

☀️ With the heat continuing into the weekend, it’s ideal BBQ weather…

But please only BBQ at home – never on moorland, woodland or grass.

🔥 Litter, disposable BBQs and open flames can easily spark wildfires, endangering lives, wildlife and our countryside.

Let’s keep everyone safe this weekend.

Working together to keep our communities safe 💙

As part of the ongoing heatwave response, we'll be alongside Gloucestershire Constabulary patrolling areas across the county where open water swimming may present a risk. These patrols help us engage with the public, raise awareness, and discourage entering the water where cold water shock could put lives in danger.

A big thank you to Gloucestershire Constabulary for supporting our water safety campaign and helping protect our communities.

Please remember: even in hot weather, open water can be extremely dangerous. Stay safe, look out for one another, and help us keep our community safe this summer.

The water might look inviting in this heat… but it can turn dangerous in seconds.

If someone falls in, your instinct might be to jump after them — don’t. You could become the next person in danger.

✅ Phone – Call 999 and ask for Fire
✅ Float – Encourage them to lie on their back
✅ Throw – Use something that floats

Remember: Phone. Float. Throw.
Know what to do — it could save a life.

🌡️ Red heat warning in place – let’s protect Gloucestershire together 🔥🌿

With soaring temperatures and dry ground, the risk of wildfires is much higher right now. Even the smallest spark can quickly turn into a serious fire.

Our firefighters are working hard to keep everyone safe – you can help by taking a few simple steps:
👉 Fully extinguish ci******es – never drop them on the ground or out of car windows
👉 Do not light open fires in the countryside
👉 Take glass bottles home – sunlight through glass can spark fires
👉 Only use barbecues in safe areas and never leave them unattended

Every small action makes a big difference 💚
By being careful, you’re helping protect our countryside, wildlife, communities – and the crews who protect us every day.

Your Starting XI is sorted ✅
But is your journey home?

We attend road traffic collisions every week — and too often, drink driving is the reason.

If you’re driving today, make it none for the road.
🚫 Don’t turn match day into an emergency
✅ Plan ahead and get home safe

With more young people out and about, we’re reminding everyone to stay safe around open water 🌊

Cold water shock can happen in seconds — even to strong swimmers.
Think before you jump.

If someone’s in trouble, remember:
📞 Phone 999
🛟 Float – encourage them onto their back
🪢 Throw something to help

Never enter the water yourself.

Don’t become a statistic.
