Setting fire to aerosol cans is extremely dangerous and can lead to explosions, serious injuries, and rapidly spreading fires. After an incident at Horsham Skate Park, we are urging everyone to stay safe and help prevent unnecessary fires, especially during these dry conditions.

If you unexpectedly fall into water, cold water shock can take your breath away. Fight the instinct to panic, tilt your head back, keep your ears submerged and spread out your arms and legs to stay afloat. #BeWaterAware
