This week, firefighters from Rushden Fire Station, our joint Arson Task Force and a local PCSO visited the Irthlingborough Co-op shop to speak to local residents and chat about safety.
Advice was wide ranging, but the hot topic was reducing fire risks during this dry summer weather, staying safe in and around water and how to report arson.

If you know or anyone committing arson, please call Northamptonshire Police on 101 or if a crime is in progress, please call 999.

Our crew from Rushden Fire Station are at Stanwick Lakes most of today and tomorrow (incidents allowing) during the hot weather, helping to keep people safe in and around the water.

If you see them and you have any questions about water, fire or road safety or even what it is like being a firefighter, please stop by for a chat. They are also showing all the children who are off school around the fire engine.

This Drowning Prevention Week, crews form Rushden Fire Station have been speaking to people at the local swimming pool about water safety and have also been supporting the trainee lifeguards.

Remember as the weather warms up, keep yourself and others safe in and around water. Jumping into water isn’t just a quick cool‑down, it can be life-threatening in seconds. It doesn't matter how good you are at swimming; cold water shock can cause you to get into difficulties and drown.

If you spot someone in difficulty, remember CALL - FLOAT - THROW

âś… CALL
- Dial 999 and ask for Fire & Rescue Service
- Shout to get attention from others nearby
- Keep eyes on the person in the water at all times

âś… FLOAT
- Encourage the person to float
- Ask them to stay calm and control their breathing

âś… THROW
- Throw something to help – don’t go in
- Use anything that floats (Lifebuoy, throw line, bag, bottle or football)

19/06/2026

With the warmer summer weather, water may look inviting, but the temperature of the water can be low enough to cause 'Cold Water Shock'.
Parents - make sure your children are aware of the dangers about jumping in, things can quickly go wrong, even for strong swimmers:

- Cold water shock
- Hidden hazards under the surface
- Strong currents and unseen forces
- Shallow or changing depths
- Impact injuries from height (tombstoning)

Make sure they know what to do if someone gets into trouble in the water:
❌ Don’t jump in
âś… Call 999
âś… Use something to help from the side (ball, stick, life ring)

Remember: Float to Live if you fall in unexpectedly.

We were delighted to welcome four-year-old Oliver to the station recently - and make him a member of the crew for the day.

Oliver has been battling cancer, and after we heard his story we invited him along to give him a special day to remember.

We gave Oliver his own bespoke fire uniform and a special kit peg for him to hang it on.

We then let Oliver tackle a fire with a hose, and he helped to rescue a casualty from a mock incident, before sitting down and having lunch with the crew.

Oliver’s dad Paul Smith said: “We want to thank the Rushden crew for an amazing time and for their support in keeping our little warrior happy.

“We asked him out of ten how his experience was - he said 100/10. Thank you again to Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service and Rushden Fire Station for his experience and making us all so welcome.”
