Working in partnership with @CadentGasLtd, Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service have produced memory diary’s with key safety messages inside, for anyone suffering from memory loss or confusion to enable them to write reminders, capture appointments, or record important information.
Yesterday we visited @derbyshirecarer who will play a key part in distributing the diary’s to the community.

It's hot out there!
The water can still be very cold and can lead to cold water shock and drowning.
If you find yourself in trouble in water #FloatToLive
If someone is in trouble in water call 999.
Ask for Fire inland and Coastguard at the coast.

In a recent survey of UK parents, we saw that 89% believe it's important their family has basic knowledge of how to stay safe in the water & self-rescue. But does your child’s water safety education start with your own education?

Never enter the water to help a person or an animal in trouble.
Call 999 immediately and let specially trained firefighters with the right equipment respond to the incident.

Cold water shock can claim the life of even the strongest swimmer. The cold water causes you to gasp: breathing quickens, muscles cramp & the likelihood of drowning increases. If you ever find yourself in difficulty #FloatToLive on your back like a star!

As part of #BeWaterAware week, our team has today been at New Mills marina. If you live or work close to water, such as a marina, please contact us to find out more about our FREE community waterside responder training.
#Derbyshire #firefighters #water
Nearly 50% of people who accidentally drowned in 2020 had no intention of entering the water.
Take care when running, walking or cycling near water. A slip or trip may mean you end up in the water
