Don't let autumn weather catch you out. 🌧️☀️

Check the forecast and your route before setting off. Keep windscreens and lights clean, top up your screen-wash, and consider carrying essentials such as water, a torch, a blanket, a raincoat and non-perishable snacks. Sunglasses can also help when the sun is low.

🔊 BEEP! That’s the sound you want to hear.

When did you last test your smoke alarms? Press the test button until the alarm sounds. If it stays silent, don’t ignore it — replace the battery where appropriate, or replace the alarm itself.

It takes seconds. Make it a monthly habit.

Press. Test. Protect.

🚒 Help us protect your local fire stations...
There has been a recent spate of break-ins at fire stations across the UK. While we're continuing to strengthen security measures across our stations, we also need your help.
If you see anything that doesn't look right around one of our fire stations, please help us by reporting it!
Most importantly, our equipment is replaceable. YOU AREN’T! Never put yourself in harm's way.
📞 If you witness suspicious activity or a crime in progress, call 999 immediately.

Sadly, last night, one of our Fire Fighters Charity clothing recycling bins was deliberately set alight.

Not only is starting deliberate fires extremely dangerous, but this mindless action has destroyed clothes kindly donated by our fantastic communities and supporters.

Like all charities, every pound raised makes a big difference. Needless incidents like this have a direct impact on the people who rely on the Fire Fighters Charity’s services during what could be the most challenging time in their life. Money that could have gone towards supporting members of our fire service community will now have to be used to cover the costs of this damage.

We’d like to thank our crews who attended the incident and everyone who continues to support the Fire Fighters Charity.

If you have any unwanted clothing, please considering donating through our recycling facilities at most of our local fire stations, or find your nearest clothes bin on the Fire Fighters Charity Website (https://bit.ly/4yoKwc6), and help us continue providing support to our firefighting community.

Long drive ahead? Build rest into your journey before you leave.

National Highways recommends taking a break of at least 15 minutes every 2 hours. Regular breaks can help you stay alert and make the journey more comfortable and less stressful.

Plan your stops as part of your T.R.I.P. checks: https://bit.ly/470f2xR

🔥 Today is National Burn Awareness Day.

A burn can happen in seconds – but the effects can last a lifetime. Today we’re joining Children’s Burns Trust and the British Burn Association to help prevent avoidable burns and scalds.

☕ Keep hot drinks well out of children’s reach and away from the edges of tables and worktops.
🍳 Keep hot pans out of reach and turn handles in.
♨️ Check hot water bottles for wear and never fill them with boiling water.

And if a burn happens, remember: COOL, CALL, COVER.
💧 COOL under cool running water for 20 minutes.
📞 CALL 999 for serious burns or seek medical advice.
🩹 COVER loosely with cling film.

Knowing what to do could make a real difference.

📍 Got the alarm — but is it in the right place?

Where you fit your alarms matters. Have at least one smoke alarm on every level of your home, ideally on the ceiling in hallways and landings where the warning can be heard.

For extra protection, consider alarms in bedrooms and other rooms with fire risks. In the kitchen, consider a heat alarm instead of a smoke alarm.

More alarms. More places. Better coverage.

Tyre-related issues accounted for 19% of breakdowns recorded on England's motorways and major A-roads in 2025.

Before your next long journey, check your tyre pressure, tread and overall condition. Look for cuts, bulges or other damage, and replace tyres if the tread is below the legal minimum of 1.6mm.

A few minutes before you set off could save time, money and hassle later. https://bit.ly/470f2xR
