Well done to fire crews who worked through the night. Large hotel fire in Torbay requiring evacuation of almost one hundred guests. Breathing apparatus crews dealt with a serious fire and search and rescue operation. Thank you incident commander @robcude @DSFireUpdates

It’s warm now, but as the seasons change and you think about warming your homes please make sure you get your chimney swept before using it.

The weather might still be warm, but autumn is around the corner which means you might want to think about heating. We recommend you have your chimney swept before the first fire, to reduce your risk of chimney fires. Book yours now before the chimney sweeps get busy! #CFSW2022

What can you do to help reduce the risk of wildfires? Some retailers have stopped selling disposable BBQ’s. My view is disposable BBQ’s should be banned. We have seen far too many wildfires this year caused by disposable BBQ’s.

Dangerous overtaking kills. Don’t overtake unless there is clear line of site and the road is designed for it. Brow of a hill is fatal.
