There have been so many tragic water deaths across the UK this year.

This Drowning Prevention Week, we're urging people not to risk going into open water. 🧑‍🚒

Our firefighters rescued 13 people from the water across County Durham and Darlington last year, three of which tragically died.

Please don't put yourself in danger.

Never enter the water to help someone in trouble.

🚒Instead, PHONE 999 and ask for the fire and rescue service.

🚒Tell the person to FLOAT on their back with their ears under the water and to use their hands to stay afloat.

🚒THROW them something that floats such as a life ring, if nearby.

🚒Remember: 'Float to live’ if you find yourself in trouble.
