We're exceptionally busy due to the extreme heat. Help us care for those who need us most by staying hydrated, wearing cool clothing and checking on vulnerable people.
999 is for life-threatening emergencies. For urgent medical advice, use 111 online, call for under-fives.

Proud to support today’s #DrowningPreventionWeek event in Glenridding alongside @CumbriaFire , @GLL_UK lifeguards and @WandFCouncil, raising awareness of water safety and the lifesaving importance of CPR.

With rising water-related incidents and preventable deaths, events like this are vital in helping communities stay safe and know what to do in an emergency.

Huge thanks to CFRs Paul & Norman (Glenridding) and Bryan (Kirkby Stephen) for their support throughout the day.
