Jumping into open water can be fatal. Cold water shock and under-water currents can kill, and you don’t know what’s lurking beneath the surface.
Don’t become a statistic. Stay safe around water.
If you get in trouble in the water, #FloatToLive.

Christmas tree lights are sparkling bright at this time of year and it’s easy to overlook their fire risk 🎄
Always check your fairy lights are in good working over before use and remember to switch off all lights and decorations before you head up to bed 💤

It's safest to attend a professionally organised firework display. However, if you decide to use fireworks at home, only buy fireworks from a licensed retailer. It’s illegal for anyone under 18 to buy or carry fireworks. #FireworkSafety #BonfireNight
