We are taking the unusual step this afternoon of sharing open water safety advice from a local District Councillor, but with good reason: former Mayor of Charnwood Dr Julie Bradshaw was a professional swimmer, who first swam the English Channel at the age of 15, and then did so again a few years later, smashing the previous world record by more than nine hours. She was also awarded an MBE for Services to Swimming and Charity.

She is, in short, a highly respected expert in the field of open water swimming, and her advice on the subject coincides with our own: open water is dangerous, and should be avoided.

We are reinforcing this clear, simple message, firstly because tragically there have been more than 10 accidental drownings across the UK this week, including children and teenagers, but also because we've noticed a worrying amount of people questioning and contradicting this safety advice on social media recently.

If you're not going to take our word for it, please take hers: https://orlo.uk/y0zh9

Short video behind the scenes into tonight’s training 🎥
Crews faced a realistic Electric vehicle fire scenario with persons reported trapped inside. While one team worked under BA to force entry and remove the casualty access door, water kept the battery fire contained and temperatures under control.

Fast decisions. Coordinated teamwork. Realistic training.

Training hard so we’re ready when it matters most. 🚒⚡🔥

Thinking of becoming a on call firefighter 👩‍🚒 come see us Tuesday or Thursday 7pm for more information

‼️ Fire crews can’t be in two places at once. ‼️

Think before you act. Respect the emergency services. Don’t put lives at risk. 🚒🔥

Today we delivered a talk on anti-social behaviour and the implications of arson and malicious hoax 999 calls to just under 1,000 students at Iveshead School.

We want to thank the school for facilitating this and allowing us to deliver this important message. 🙏

Our message was received extremely well, and we hope it will have a positive impact on the choices young people make in the future and their understanding of the consequences of their actions.

Did you know? Any child from the age of 10 found guilty of arson and/or making malicious hoax 999 calls can face fines of up to £5,000, imprisonment, and a criminal record. 🔥

Education and early intervention remain key to keeping our communities safe. 🧑‍🚒 🚒

🚒🚓 Tomorrow, alongside Leicestershire Police we will be visiting Iveshead School to speak with pupils about the dangers and serious consequences of playing with fire.

Fire can spread quickly and cause devastating injuries, damage, and risk to life. By educating young people early, we hope to help keep our communities safe and encourage responsible behaviour around fire safety.

We look forward to meeting the students and answering their questions tomorrow. 👩‍🚒👮
