Pump training 💦

It only takes a minute for a cooking fire to start.
If you’re tired, been drinking or taking drugs, you’ll be:
less alert to signs of fire
more likely to fall asleep
less likely to wake up if a fire starts
If you’re drinking or taking drugs, don’t cook.

Scottish Fire and Rescue Service crews traditionally deal with around 1000 chimney fires each year.

If you use an open fire, make sure your chimney is swept before the colder, winter months.

It’s easy for a cooking fire start. It only takes a minute.

Cooking is the number 1 cause of house fires in Scotland.

If you’re tired, you’ve been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, don’t cook. Prepare a cold snack instead.

Had a lovely time showing kids how to use the hose reel jet at the Dunvegan Show. Miriam only got soaked about three times which is pretty good going given the circumstances.

Smoking is the number one cause of accidental fire deaths in Scotland. If you're tired or under the influence of alcohol it is safer to smoke outside, or standing up at a window or exterior door.

Did you know that wildfires are mostly started by thoughtless or accidental behaviours?

•Careless disposal of cigarettes
•Unattended BBQs and open fires/campfires
•Fires not extinguished properly
•Sunlight magnified by glass bottles

Let's prevent wildfires!
