Do you remember the first time...you tested your smoke alarm?
Well many common people forget to, especially if they are planning a Disco 2000 at the weekend.
So put on your underwear and your pencil skirt and test your smoke alarm before you head to @tramlines this weekend. 💃
Our Control Room is receiving a lot of calls about a fire on the A1M between junction 34 and 35.
Three fire engines have been mobilised and are on the way.
Avoid the area if you can.
Five fire engines and one aerial vehicle are in attendance at an industrial fire on Askern Road, Toll Bar, Doncaster.
Close windows and doors if you live nearby and avoid the area if possible to allow our firefighters to carry out their work.
Crews are currently in attendance at a building fire on Finchwell Road, Sheffield.
Due to the smoke coming from this building residents nearby should keep their windows and doors closed.
Please avoid the area to allow crews space to work.
South Yorkshire’s fire service has been praised for making improvements in its latest inspection report by @hmicfrs published today.

@SYFR hosted an open day on Saturday in Rotherham bringing together our emergency services and charities.
An excellent way for communities, especially children and young people to gain an appreciation for all the people including volunteers, officers and cadets who help keep us safe. Thank you for all your support - Ambulance, Fire, Police, Search & Rescue, plus charitable organisations like Rapid Relief Team who provided food and drink at the event, giving all donations to the Fire and Rescue Service. Really interesting to hear how you help emergency services across the world.
Also, a bit of history and fun, thanks to the @NESMUSEUM bringing along their vintage vehicles. Definitely worth a visit.
Great way to bring communities together.

@SYFR are urging members of the public to be extra careful ahead of the 3rd heatwave of the summer. They're asking people to stop having garden bonfires, using disposable BBQs & to ensure they don’t leave rubbish, especially glass bottles, lying around.
