Below are some tips and advice on how alarms and detectors can help keep your crew safe.

This week is @NFCC_FireChiefs Sprinkler Week.

We want people to #ThinkSprinkler because they save lives and buildings, which lessens the economic, environmental, emotional and community impact of fire.

If you're a property owner or run a business #ThinkSprinkler

[National Fire Chiefs Council @NFCC_FireChiefs]

There are a quite a few myths about sprinkler systems, but correct installation and maintenance mean they are very reliable and proven to provide life and property protection if a fire should start. Find out more truths and #ThinkSprinkler

[National Fire Chiefs Council @NFCC_FireChiefs]

Sprinklers extinguish & contain fires - they save lives

Along with @BAFSAfocus and @LondonFire we would like people to #ThinkSprinkler - especially developers drawing up new build plans.

Very proud of SC Hall and grateful for the exemplary way in which he represented the service, our island and his profession alongside colleagues on such an historic, important and profound occasion. Thank you Ryan, and well done.

[Jersey Fire & Rescue @JsyFire]

Well done to Station Commander Ryan Hall who was one of 16 Fire and Rescue Service Officers, selected for the Queen's funeral procession.

“The experience was immensely humbling & the sense of pride as I stepped out into the procession will mark the proudest moment of my career”

[National Fire Chiefs Council @NFCC_FireChiefs]

As Charles III is formally proclaimed King, our thoughts remain with His Majesty, his family and everyone who mourns Queen Elizabeth II

Have you tested your smoke alarms recently?

It could save your life one day.

We recommend a minimum of one on each level of your home, positioned on your ceiling and ideally in a hallway or on a landing.
#FireKills

[Chief Fire Officer, Jersey Fire and Rescue Service @CFOJersey]

Particularly true right now, it having been so dry for so long. Bonfires / ‘burning off’ and campfires = bad idea. If using a BBQ, please be extremely careful; be nowhere near vegetation, have water to cool completely (disposable) after use. https://t.co/X5k4yKTnIm

[Jersey Fire & Rescue @JsyFire]

Taking your litter home with you not only helps to keep the Island beautiful but it helps prevent wildfires. 🔥

[Jersey Fire & Rescue @JsyFire]

It's National Smoke Alarm Week - do you have enough smoke alarms in your home? We recommend installing at least 1 smoke detector for every level of your house. The ideal position is on the ceiling, in the middle of a room & on the hallway & landing #FireKills

[Chief Fire Officer, Jersey Fire and Rescue Service @CFOJersey]

@StayWiseUK have excellent resources to talk about water safety. @JsyFire and our rescue partners are deployed to sea and coastal incidents by @JsyCoastguard so when calling 999; inland = Fire & Rescue. Sea and coast = @JsyCoastguard #WorldDrowningPreventionDay @NFCC_FireChiefs

[Chief Fire Officer, Jersey Fire and Rescue Service @CFOJersey]

A vital initiative and message. Please take the time to read about it, the safety advice in it and, for local safety guidance and rules, take a look @JsyCoastguard website. Knowing about safety and helping others to know is lifesaving work.

In order to prepare, protect and defend islanders from cyber attacks, it's important that we all understand what is meant by cyber security and why it matters to our Jersey community. This short video provides a simple introduction to your role in securing our island, and ours.

[Chief Fire Officer, Jersey Fire and Rescue Service @CFOJersey]

Well done everyone and many thanks to @HantsIOW_fire and @HIWFRS_LandD for providing facilities and support for our teams.
