Cold water shock can hit in seconds even on warm days, the water is still dangerously cold.

If you get into difficulty remember Float to Live 🛟

See someone in trouble? Call 999 and throw something that floats– never enter the water yourself

One of the HGVs was at risk of ignition and therefore crews used one hose reel jet to damp down and make the vehicle safe.

‼️Avoid the area while work continues
