The article marking 10yr Anniversary of tragic incident that saw 2 girls lose their lives in water. Myself & fellow firefighters attended. This was the catalyst for my aims to see reductions in Open Water fatalities, to see no-one lose their lives this way chroniclelive.co.uk/news/norโ€ฆ

After recent rain, remember to empty and turn over garden water containers. Water butts, troughs, and barrels can be dangerous for young children; a risk thatโ€™s often overlooked. Find more family garden water safety advice at: rlss.org.uk/splash-safely-atโ€ฆ #SplashSafely

The World Health Organisation classifies firefighting as a carcinogenic occupation. In Canada and Australia, if a firefighter gets cancer, they are compensated, leaving them to fight the cancer, not fight for their family's security. It's time the UK caught up.

TELLY GOLD: On Sir Bobby Robsonโ€™s birthday, a chance to share this again. A decade after Turin, the Gaffer reflects with @GaryLineker on what could have been. The pride, the passion, and the pain still linger. โ€œWe were a whisker away, son...โ€

โšซ๏ธ Still not over the refereeing drama, utter incompetence at its finest, but itโ€™s important that doesnโ€™t overshadow a massive week for NUFC. โšช๏ธ Questions were asked after the Brentford game, and rightly so, but the reaction is a testament to the manager & his players. ๐Ÿ’ช A team that is still fighting. Now feels like a season that can be salvaged.
