As the warm weather continues, GMFRS Water Incident Unit crew from Eccles spent today at Salford Quays highlighting to the public the dangers of swimming in open water on a hot day - #respectthewater #floattolive @salfordfireteam @manchesterfire

The CEO of Thames Water is set to be paid £1.5 MILLION despite her company dumping raw sewage an average of 22 times A DAY last year.

Anyone else think that's terrible value for money?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Right now, 98 MILLION people on the East Coast are under air quality alerts from Canadian fires and, last night, NYC had the worst air quality in the world. Climate change makes wildfires more frequent and widespread. If we do nothing, this is our new reality. It's time to act.

[Surrey Fire & Rescue Service @SurreyFRS]

Between 2018 & 2021, sadly 11 people accidentally drowned in Surrey. All were men.

They are sons, brothers, husbands, friends, fathers & colleagues to someone. Their deaths could have been prevented.

Please open the conversation around water safety in your life. #BeWaterAware

When I started reporting on climate change, the prediction was the Arctic could be sea-ice-free in summer by the 2070s. Now? By the 2030s. https://t.co/iSA52WS4YD

Chris lost his nephew Jack, to drowning. He’s sharing his story to prevent others going through what him and his family have.

Are you heading to the coast today? Having a picnic by the river? 🤔

Please take time to watch this video. It is a minute of your time that could help save your life.

Float. To. Live 🛟

If you get in trouble in the water, lean back and spread your arms. Don't fight the water.

[Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service @DSFireUpdates]

Do you know how to #FloatToLive ? 🌊

If you get into difficulty in water, floating on your back gives you the chance to catch your breath and assess your situation. Once you are calm, call for help or try and raise your arm to make people aware.

[Doing it for Dylan @DoingitforDylan]

If you see someone in trouble in open water.
*Shout for them to stay calm & control their breathing.
*Tell them to get on their back & float
*If you have something that floats throw it to the casualty
*Call 999 ask for the fire service if ur inland or the coastguard at the beach

[Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service @Tyne_Wear_FRS]

Spending time in water this weekend? ☀️🌊

Beware of cold water shock and remember this advice, it could save your life.

If you get into difficulty remember three words 👉 Float to Live.

Lean back, spread your arms and legs, wait until the shock passes.

Please #BeWaterAware 🧡

Thanks to DECON, firefighters across the UK are in a better place to protect themselves from toxic contaminants

If you haven't taken the training yet, make it your New Year resolution to do it and encourage your co-workers to complete it too 👉 https://t.co/LzWADnzFUR

[Mercy For Animals @MercyForAnimals]

Cows, pigs, chickens, and other animals at factory farms are treated like unfeeling objects—tossed in the trash as if they were empty soda cans or yard waste. 💔

"As a matter of urgency we must begin a global transition to a new safe energy economy. This requires fundamentally rethinking our economic systems, to put them on a sustainable and more equitable footing."

RIP Desmond Tutu, who wrote that 7 years ago.
