Warwickshire is once again experiencing another heatwave with heat health warnings in place. During hot weather, water-related incidents increase and it's especially important to remind children and young people of the dangers of entering water, there are often hidden risks such as cold-water shock or currents.
Would your child know what to do if they found themselves in a dangerous situation? 🆘 Show them this video and teach them the ‘Float to Live' technique. It could save their life one day!

Earlier today, Red Watch attended an incident near to the A45.
This fire was caused by glass bottles being discarded in the grass.
More bottles were then collected to prevent further incidents.

In this current spell of hot weather please take extra care when disposing of rubbish.
With grass being so dry it doesn’t take much for fires to develop!

Thankfully multiple members of the public called this in- any longer and it could have spread so much further!
