🔥 Meabhrúchán Sábháilteachta maidir le BBQ & Dóiteáin Fhiáine 🔥

Agus muid ag druidim le deireadh seachtaine Saoire Bainc an Mheithimh, táimid ag iarraidh ar gach duine taitneamh a bhaint as an dea-aimsir go sábháilte agus go freagrach.

Má tá BBQ agat:
✅ Coinnigh BBQanna i bhfad ó sheideanna, fálta, deiceanna agus féar tirim
✅ Ná húsáid peitreal ná luasairí riamh chun tine a lasadh
âś… Coinnigh leanaĂ­ agus peataĂ­ ar shiĂşl Ăł BBQanna te
✅ Ná fág BBQ gan duine i láthair riamh
✅ Cinntigh go bhfuil BBQanna múchta go hiomlán tar éis úsáide

Is féidir le dálaí aimsire tirime an baol tine fiáine a mhéadú:
🚫 Ná las tine champála ná tine chnámh i gceantair thuaithe
🚫 Ná caith toitíní ar thaobhanna bóthair ná i bhféarach riamh
🚫 Seachain feithiclí a pháirceáil ar fhéar tirim

📞 Tuairiscigh aon chomharthaí tine fiáine láithreach trí ghlaoch ar 999/112 ag iarraidh ar an tseirbhís dóiteáin

Is féidir le gníomhartha beaga teagmhais mhóra a chosc agus cabhrú lenár bpobail, lenár bhfiadhúlra agus leis na seirbhísí éigeandála a chosaint.

Bíodh deireadh seachtaine Saoire Bainc sábháilte agus taitneamhach agaibh ó gach duine ag Seirbhís Dóiteáin Chill Dara.

🔥 BBQ & Wildfire Safety Reminder 🔥

As we head into the June Bank Holiday weekend, we are asking everyone to enjoy the good weather safely and responsibly.

If you’re having a BBQ:

âś… Keep BBQs well away from sheds, fences, decking, and dry grass
âś… Never use petrol or accelerants to light fires
âś… Keep children and pets away from hot BBQs
âś… Never leave a BBQ unattended
âś… Ensure BBQs are fully extinguished after use

Dry weather conditions can increase the risk of wildfires:
đźš« Do not light campfires or bonfires in rural areas
đźš« Never discard ci******es on roadsides or in grassland
đźš« Avoid parking vehicles on dry grass

đź“ž Report any signs of wildfire immediately by calling 999/112 asking for the fire service

Small actions can prevent major incidents and help protect our communities, wildlife, and the emergency services.

Have a safe and enjoyable Bank Holiday weekend from all at Kildare Fire Service đźš’

🔥🛣🛟Tá Comhairle Contae Chill Dara bródúil as tacú le Déardaoin Ómra roimh dheireadh seachtaine saoire bainc mhí an Mheithimh. 🔥🛣🛟

Tugann an tionscnamh seo Oifigigh Sábháilteachta Dóiteáin, Bóthair agus Uisce ó ar fud na hÉireann le chéile chun feasacht sábháilteachta a chur chun cinn agus aird a tharraingt ar na rioscaí a bhaineann le gníomhaíochtaí dóiteáin, bóthair agus uisce le linn shéasúr an tsamhraidh.

Le níos mó daoine ag baint úsáide as uiscebhealaí agus ag glacadh páirte i ngníomhaíochtaí gairdín agus lasmuigh eile mar aon leis an méid tráchta níos airde ar na bóithre, is féidir le deireadh seachtaine saoire bainc mhí an Mheithimh a bheith ina thréimhse ghnóthach do sheirbhísí éigeandála agus tarrthála. Roimh an deireadh seachtaine, tá Oifigigh Sábháilteachta ag impí ar bhaill den phobal a bheith aireach ar na rioscaí agus na contúirtí a bhaineann le gníomhaíochtaí dóiteáin, bóthair agus uisce amhail barbeiciú, snámh nó tiomáint agus céimeanna a ghlacadh chun fanacht sábháilte.

🛣Sábháilteacht Bóthair🛣
I measc na bpríomhfhachtóirí a mbíonn tionchar acu ar shábháilteacht bóthair tá luasghéarú, tiomáint faoi thionchar an óil nó drugaí, gan crios sábhála a chaitheamh agus tuirse tiománaithe. Cinntigh i gcónaí go bhfuil turas sábháilte abhaile pleanáilte agat. Is féidir le bás bóthair aonair tionchar a imirt ar phobal iomlán, ag fágáil éifeacht mharthanach ar feadh blianta fada.

🛟Sábháilteacht Uisce🛟
Moltar snámh ag limistéir snámha ainmnithe ina bhfuil gardaí tarrthála ar dualgas. In éagmais limistéir snámha ainmnithe, moltar do dhaoine snámh ag limistéir snámha traidisiúnta sábháilte aitheanta le fáinní fáinne i bhfeidhm. Sula ndéanann tú snámh, déan cinnte go bhfuil a fhios ag duine éigin cá bhfuil tú agus déan cinnte i gcónaí go bhfuil an fáinní fáinne ina bhosca buí sula dtéann tú isteach san uisce.
Má tá tú i dtrioblóid:
• Snámh le maireachtáil
• Rialú anála
• Glaoigh ar chabhair
• I gcás éigeandála glaoigh ar 999 nó 112

🔥Sábháilteacht Dóiteáin🔥
Meabhraítear do bhaill den phobal na rioscaí a bhaineann le tine a tharlaíonn lasmuigh, sa bhaile nó sa ghairdín. Is féidir le tine bheag dul in olcas go tapa mura ndéantar í a bhainistiú go sábháilte. Tá sé mídhleathach dramhaíl a dhó lasmuigh agus níor cheart barbeiciú ná tinte campa a lasadh i bpáirceanna, i limistéir fhiáine ná gar do fhásra nó do chrainn. Ba cheart a bheith cúramach freisin gan aon bharbeiciú indiúscartha ná bunanna toitíní a chaitheamh ar an talamh.

Dúirt Dermot Scully, Leas-Phríomhoifigeach Dóiteáin, Comhairle Contae Chill Dara: “Is féidir le barbeiciú indiúscartha riosca tromchúiseach dóiteáin a chruthú, go háirithe le linn aimsir thirim. Táimid ag iarraidh ar an bpobal gan iad a úsáid i limistéir choillteacha nó féaraigh, gan iad a fhágáil gan mhaoirseacht riamh, agus uisce a bheith in aice láimhe i gcónaí. Coinnigh leanaí agus ainmhithe i bhfad uainn, agus cinntigh go bhfuil an barbeiciú múchta go hiomlán sula bhfágann tú. Níor cheart luaithreach te a chur i mboscaí bruscair riamh.”

Ag labhairt dó ag seoladh náisiúnta Ómra Déardaoin, dúirt an tAire Stáit, Jerry Buttimer T.D., ag an Roinn Forbartha Tuaithe agus Pobail agus na Gaeltachta: “Tá méadú ar ghníomhaíochtaí ar ár mbóithre, in uiscí nó timpeall tine le linn míonna an tsamhraidh, rud a thugann go leor rioscaí agus guaiseacha do dhaoine leis freisin. Ba mhaith linn a mheabhrú do gach duine smaoineamh chun cinn agus iad ag pleanáil a ngníomhaíochtaí agus smaoineamh ar na gnéithe sábháilteachta agus iad ag pleanáil a n-imeachtaí. Is gnéithe thar a bheith tábhachtach iad sábháilteacht dóiteáin, sábháilteacht bóthair agus sábháilteacht uisce a d’fhéadfadh go leor dearmad a dhéanamh orthu nó a ghlacadh mar rud deonach. Ar ndóigh, ba mhaith linn go mbainfeadh daoine taitneamh as féin, ach go mbeadh sábháilteacht i gcuimhne agus iad ag déanamh amhlaidh.”

🔥🛣🛟Kildare County Council is proud to support Amber Thursday ahead of the June bank holiday weekend. 🔥🛣🛟

This initiative brings together Fire, Road and Water Safety Officers from across Ireland to promote safety awareness and highlight the risks associated with fire, road and water-based activities over the summer season.

With more people using waterways and partaking in garden and other outdoor activities along with the higher volume of traffic on the roads, the June bank holiday weekend can be a busy time for emergency and rescue services. Ahead of the weekend Safety Officers are urging members of the public to be mindful of the risks and dangers associated with fire, road and water-based activities such as barbeques, swimming or driving and to take steps to stay safe.

🛣Road Safety🛣
Key factors affecting road safety include speeding, drink or drug driving, the non-wearing of a seatbelt and driver fatigue. Always ensure you have planned a safe journey home. A single road death can affect a whole community, leaving a lasting effect for many years.

🛟Water Safety🛟
Swimming is advised at designated bathing areas where lifeguards are on duty. In the absence of designated bathing areas, people are advised to swim at known safe traditional bathing areas with ringbuoys in place. Before swimming, ensure somebody knows your location and always ensure that the ringbuoy is in its yellow box before entering the water.

If in trouble:
• Float to Live
• Control Breathing
• Call for Help
• In emergencies call 999 or 112

🔥Fire Safety🔥
Members of the public are reminded of the risks from fires occurring outdoors, in the home or in the garden. A small fire can escalate quickly if not safely managed. It is illegal to burn waste outdoors and barbeques or campfires should not be lit in parks, wildland areas or close to vegetation or trees. Care should also be taken not to discard any disposable barbecues or cigarette butts on the ground.

Dermot Scully, Assistant Chief Fire Officer, Kildare County Council said: “Disposable barbecues can pose a serious fire risk, especially during dry weather. We are asking the public not to use them in wooded or grassy areas, never to leave them unattended, and to always have water nearby. Keep children and animals well away, and ensure the BBQ is fully extinguished before leaving. Hot ashes should never be placed in bins.”

Speaking at the national launch of Amber Thursday Minister of State, Jerry Buttimer T.D., at the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, said: “There is an increase in activities on our roads, in waters or around fire during the summer months, which also brings with it a lot of risks and hazards for people. We want to remind everyone to think ahead when planning their activities and think about the safety aspects when planning their events. Fire safety, road safety and water safety are extremely important elements which many may forget about or simply take for granted. Of course, we want people to enjoy themselves, but just to have safety in mind while doing so.”
