Crews from @WMFSBloxwich and @WMFSTechRescue rescued a man from a car stranded in flood water in #Walsall this morning.
Remember, 30cm of water is enough to move a car – do not drive through flood water.

Did you know you're twice as likely to survive a car crash if you're wearing a seatbelt?
It's a simple step that can save your life. Always wear it, every trip, every time. #BuckleUp #RoadSafety

If you’re too close to the vehicle in front, you’re tailgating. This is very dangerous and could lead to a collision.
Always leave at least a two-second gap.
Follow The Highway Code.

Planning a bonfire?
Always keep buckets of water or a hosepipe nearby in case of emergency – but call 999 immediately if the fire gets out of hand. Never leave a bonfire unattended.
