In the event of an e-bike or e-scooter lithium-ion battery fire do not attempt to extinguish the fire. GET OUT, STAY OUT, CALL 999.
The fire can be ferocious, keep reigniting & be extremely difficult to extinguish.

Part two of the Water Safety Code: STAY TOGETHER
Enjoying the water with friends and family is safer & more fun! If anyone gets into trouble in the water, then you will be able to alert people to help.
Remember, never go into the water to rescue anyone or anything.
