🚒 Good luck to our nine firefighters as they travel to Atlanta to take part in the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund Memorial Stair Climb on 5th September.

The team will join firefighters from around the world to honour the 343 FDNY firefighters who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks, climbing 110 floors in tribute to their courage and sacrifice.

We're incredibly proud of you all and wish you every success on this important mission.

📸These photos were taken during a stair climb event at Clifford’s Tower, York, in August when the team and supporters climbed and descend the tower’s stairs 343 times.

🚨 It's the first of the month, which means it's time to test your smoke alarms! 🚨

Smoke alarms save lives, but only if they're working. Press the test button until the alarm sounds and make sure every alarm in your home is working properly.

✅ Fit a smoke alarm on every level of your home
✅ Test them monthly
✅ Replace removable batteries every year
✅ Replace alarms when they reach the end of their lifespan

Remember, smoke alarms should be fitted on ceilings, ideally in hallways and landings where they can be heard throughout your home. Avoid placing them in or near kitchens and bathrooms, where cooking fumes or steam can trigger false alarms.

🚒Whilst you're at it have a look at our Online Home Fire Safety Check:

🌊 Beautiful coastlines can hide serious dangers. Cold water, strong currents and rising tides can catch anyone out, even experienced visitors.

Cold water shock can trigger an involuntary gasp and rapid breathing, so always enter the water slowly and give your body time to acclimatise.

Remember, alcohol and water don't mix. Drinking can impair judgement and increase risky behaviour around the coast.

If you see someone in difficulty: 📞 Call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. Encourage them to Float to Live: lie on their back, relax, keep their ears in the water and control their breathing until the effects of cold water shock pass.

Your actions could save a life.

🚶 Heading out into North Yorkshire's countryside this Bank Holiday weekend?

With more people enjoying the moors, dales and open spaces, it's important that we all do our bit to help prevent accidental wildfires.

Whether you're out for a walk, enjoying a picnic, cycling through the countryside or spending time with family and friends, a few simple precautions can help protect our landscapes, wildlife and communities.

✅ DO
• Call 999 immediately and ask for the fire service if you spot a fire
• Give as much information as possible about the location, size and surrounding terrain. Use what3words to help you find your location
• Follow local signage, restrictions and guidance designed to reduce wildfire risk

❌ DON'T
• Drop cigarette ends or throw them from vehicles
• Leave litter, bottles or glass behind
• Use disposable or portable BBQs on grassland, moorland or in unauthorised areas
• Release sky lanterns, which can travel long distances and ignite dry vegetation
• Put yourself at risk by attempting to tackle a fire unless it is small and safe to extinguish

Wildfires can spread quickly, and the ground is still dry despite rain. Taking a few simple precautions can help protect North Yorkshire's countryside for everyone to enjoy.
