🌧️🚗 DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN – THINK BEFORE YOU TRAVEL 🚗🌧️

With periods of heavy rain, we’re reminding everyone to take extra care on the roads and consider whether your journey is really necessary.

Before setting off:

🌧️ Check the weather and road conditions

🚗 Reduce your speed and increase the distance from the vehicle ahead

💡 Use dipped headlights when visibility is poor

⚠️ Be prepared for standing water and localised flooding

💦 Avoid driving through flood water – you don’t know how deep it is or what condition the road is in underneath

🛑 Never ignore road closure signs

If you come across flood water, turn around and find another route.

A few extra minutes planning your journey could prevent an emergency.

Drive to the conditions. Slow down. Stay safe. 🚒

🚒🔥 A Very Busy Spell for us here at Ludlow over 40 incidents 🔥🚒

With the continued hot and extremely dry conditions, our firefighters at Ludlow have experienced a particularly busy period, with a noticeable increase in outdoor and countryside fires.

Looking back through July and the first part of August, crews have attended a wide range of incidents, including:

🔥 Numerous fires in the open
🌾 Multiple standing corn/crop fires
🚜 Multiple field/stubble fires
🏚️ Barn fire
🏠 Building and house fires
🚛 Large vehicle fire
🔥 Burning of waste
🚨 Several automatic fire alarm (AFA) and smoke detector activations
💨 Reports of smoke in the area
⚠️ Gas leak
🌊 Water rescue
🚑 Assisting Ambulance colleagues / gaining entry

The figures show just how much the dry weather has affected our local area.

☀️🌾 We’re therefore asking everyone to seriously consider whether you need to have a BBQ, bonfire or any other open flame while conditions remain this dry.

🚫 Please avoid disposable BBQs altogether in the countryside, woodland, fields or around dry vegetation.

Something as simple as a spark, hot coal or discarded cigarette can ignite dry grass and vegetation. In these conditions, fire can spread incredibly quickly and develop into a significant incident requiring multiple fire crews and resources.

🌒 The demand has continued right through this week. While many people were outside watching the solar eclipse, our crew were being mobilised to Clee Hill to deal with reports of a fire in the open. 🔥🚒

Please help us reduce the risk:

🔥 Give the BBQ or fire pit a miss during periods of extreme dry weather.
🚫 Don’t light bonfires or burn garden waste.
🚬 Never discard ci******es onto the ground or from a vehicle.
🌾 Keep any source of ignition well away from fields, crops and dry vegetation.
📞 If you discover a fire, get to a safe location and call 999 immediately.

🙏 Please help us protect our countryside, support our farming community and reduce unnecessary demand on emergency services.

While everything is this dry, please think twice before lighting anything outdoors.

🚒 Thank you from everyone at TeamLU
