☀️ Extremely hot temperatures are forecast for this week and with that comes safety risks.

Deputy Chief Fire Officer Simon Tuffley shared; "We’re asking everyone to make safe choices over the coming days, particularly around open water, barbecues and dry open spaces. Small actions can have serious consequences in these conditions, but many incidents are entirely preventable if we all play our part. "

Help your Firefighters 👨‍🚒

🌭 Planning a BBQ?
✅ Keep BBQs off grass and away from fences, sheds, and trees. Dry vegetation catches quickly, this means avoid barbecuing in parks, fields or woodlands.
✅Dispose of ashes from BBQs properly, they stay hot for hours.

🚜 Working on the land?
Farmers, please take extra care when using machinery in these conditions. Hot, dry vegetation can ignite easily, and sparks or heat from equipment can start fast spreading fires in open areas. Check your kit, clear debris, and stay alert.

Avoid setting bonfires in this heat, instead:
✅ Take rubbish to a household waste recycling centre or arrange a collection

Today we are supporting Milton Keynes College, Bletchley, for a charity event in aid of an amazing cause!

They are running lengths of hose from Milton Keynes College to Bicester Fire Station in support of those affected by the Bicester Motion incident, while also raising money for The Fire Fighters Charity.

We have two requests today:
🚒 We would love any local firefighters to come along and run some hose with us!
❤️ We are also asking members of the public to please donate whatever they can to support this incredible event and cause.
