This #WorldStrokeDay, remember the symptoms using the acronym FAST: 😐 Face – their face may have dropped on one side. πŸ’ͺ Arms – can they lift both arms and keep them there? πŸ’¬ Speech – their speech may be slurred. ⏰ Time – It's time to dial 999 now. nhs.uk/conditions/stroke/

⚠️ Lithium-ion batteries again… our firefighters rescued this person down a ladder because they were trapped in a burning house. The advice below is absolutely life-saving.
This was the result of a serious lithium-ion battery fire in Lancashire! Luckily, the occupant was rescued by our fire crews from a first floor bedroom window. These batteries should only be charged and used as instructed. Make sure you have working smoke alarms in your home ⚠️

Some wildfires are started deliberately. If you see anything suspicious report it anonymously to @CrimestoppersUK on 0800 555 111 Call 999 to report a fire - even if it is small fire. In dry weather it can rapidly spread. #WildfireAware
The Met Office has warned of an increased risk of water-related incidents. There have already been a number of casualties with this week's heatwave.

It's another hot week, and we know it can be tempting to cool off in the water. But open water like lakes, reservoirs, and rivers stays very cold. It can also have hidden dangers. Stay safe. #RespectTheWater and, if you get into difficulty, #FloatToLive.

It's hot out there 🌞 The water can still be very cold and can lead to cold water shock and drowning. #FloatToLive can save your life Call 999 for help - Fire if inland & Coastguard at the coast Tell your mates - it can save them too #BeWaterAware #RespectTheWater
