Proud to support todayโs #DrowningPreventionWeek event in Glenridding alongside @CumbriaFire , @GLL_UK lifeguards and @WandFCouncil, raising awareness of water safety and the lifesaving importance of CPR.
With rising water-related incidents and preventable deaths, events like this are vital in helping communities stay safe and know what to do in an emergency.
Huge thanks to CFRs Paul & Norman (Glenridding) and Bryan (Kirkby Stephen) for their support throughout the day.

A brilliant community effort helped raise a fantastic ยฃ617.25 at Workington Fire Station's open day on Saturday!

โ With a yellow Heat-Health Alert in place until 5pm on Wednesday 27 May, it may be tempting to cool off in open water such as rivers, lakes and reservoirs but cold water can kill.
โ Think before you or friends enter water โ cold water shock can affect even strong swimmers.
