Thursday 4 May is Firefighters' Memorial Day.

More than 2,000 firefighters have died in the line of duty. Many more have died of cancer and other diseases linked to the job.

At 12 noon we remembered them with a minute's silence.

It's pancake day!

We hope you all enjoy pancakes today but remember to KEEP LOOKING WHEN COOKING!

Cooking is the number one cause of accidental fires in the home.
Be alert while cooking, don't get distracted and make sure you turn off appliances once you have finished with them
