Have you got the tumble dryer on today? Here's some safety tips:
•Clean out the lint filter after or before every use
•Look for scorching or burn marks, check for loose or worn wires
•Never overload
•Don't use overnight or when you're not home.

This video of our chip pan demonstration unit shows why throwing water on an oil fire is so dangerous. If you're cooking with hot oil and it catches fire:
1. Turn off the heat (only if it's safe to do so).
2. Close the kitchen door.
3. Get out, stay out and call 999.

@northernimagery@Tyne_Wear_FRS@TwfrsT Thanks for everything Sam....from photography and videos to the amazing work you do for the Ff charity. And thanks for the little things you do to help people.....I know you have helped me and I’ll never forget it.....and it all comes with a big smile. X
I sent this to someone tonight serving in TWFRS and he replied....this is what a #firefamily looks like. My passing out parade ...dad was LFf at the time. Thanks Andy....made me smile
@TWFRS_CFO @Tyne_Wear_FRS@NUFC@TinoasprillaH@alanshearer@stevewraith Thanks Chris. He was a one off and I was not only honoured to spend my whole life with him but I have always been so proud that he was my dad. The book that we would write about him would never get finished. Those that know.....know.
@Tyne_Wear_FRS well done Tommy. This is well deserved for the tireless and unconditional effort you put in to make people safe. We are all very proud. @joolstom
Make sure you carry out these three checks before you use an electrical appliance:
• Check to see if the cables are fastened securely to the plug
• Check for frayed or worn cables and wires
• Check the socket for scorch marks
