With temperatures in Scotland set to remain below freezing for most of this week, we are urging people to avoid frozen water. Ice may look tempting but it can crack and cause a person to fall through. Please stay safe.

Whilst Elizabeth lives and works in Ayrshire, we are recruiting On Call Firefighters all across Scotland. If you’re interested in being a @fire_scot On Call Firefighter give this a read. – at Edinburgh, Scotland
Working as an on call #firefighter is a great job if you enjoy being active and serving your community. 🏘
That's the view of Elizabeth Jenkins from Ayrshire who says her role fits around looking after her four children. 👩🚒

Planning a trip in the caravan before the end of the Summer? 🚌☀️
Always ensure there is a working smoke alarm fitted and consider installing a heat alarm.
Fire spreads more quickly in a caravan than it would in a house or a flat. 🔥

Parents & carers – you can help reduce deliberate fires:
Make sure children and young people are aware of the risks of playing with fire and the consequences of deliberately setting a fire.

If struggling in fast moving water like a river - #GoWithTheFlow - conserve energy.
Lie on your back - float to live. Swim at an angle towards the shore – not against the flow
Shout for help. Call 999 when you reach shore - hypothermia still a risk.

It's hot out there! Having a BBQ tonight?
Make sure your BBQ site is flat and well away from sheds, fences, trees, shrubs or garden waste.
Never leave a BBQ unattended.
Avoid alcohol if you are in charge of a BBQ.
