During this hot spell it may be tempting to cool off in open water, however there are often hidden dangers in lochs, rivers & reservoirs. Cold Water shock can also be fatal. @DGfire_safety @scotfire_DG @NithRescue

[Scottish Fire and Rescue Service @fire_scot]

🔥There is a very high risk of wildfires in this area on Thursday, 28 May.

CO Alarms save lives on boats. You can’t see, hear, smell or feel it. Boats are built to keep water out, but this also makes them good containers for gases & fumes.
Fit CO alarms suitable for boats & meeting the EN50291-2 standard
