Never venture onto frozen water.

Even if the ice appears thick from the bank, it becomes thinner very quickly and can crack.

Our message is simple – stay safe, stay off the ice.

Our service is in mourning for our colleague, Atherton Community Fire Station watch manager Andy Leyland, who has tragically passed away while off duty over the Christmas period.
Flags have been lowered at our stations this weekend to mark our sadness and respect.
Our thoughts are with Andy’s family, friends and close colleagues at such a difficult time.

Today, His Majesty King Charles III met emergency service responders in Manchester to recognise their efforts following the terrible Heaton Park synagogue attack.

During the visit to Greater Manchester Police HQ, the King spoke to some of the fire crews who were first on scene along with Chief Fire Officer Dave Russel and Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham.

A real honour to meet HRH the King today. Definitely something you’d never expect to do in a lifetime.
