🌊Water Safety:  Whether at the coast, rivers or reservoirs, please take extra care. Cold water shock, strong currents and hidden hazards can put even strong swimmers at risk.

Follow RNLI advice. https://rnli.org/safety

🔥BBQ's and campfires:  If you are using a BBQ or campfire please ensure that it is placed on a flammable surface and never left unattended.  Fully extinguish it before leaving.  Embers can stay hot for hours and easily start grass or woodland fires.   They can also cause injury.

☀️Heat Safety:  Stay hydrated, use shade, and avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day.

👵Look out for the vulnerable:  Check in on elderly neighbours, people living alone and anyone who may struggle in the heat.

🐶Dogs in cars:  Never leave a dog in a vehicle during warm weather.  Even a short time can be life threatening.  Call 999 if a dog is in distress.
