Had great time at Spilsby Bike Night last night. So good to see the town full of people not only interested in bikes but what we do and getting hands on some tools to show how we do it!

Would you be able to get out of your home with your eyes shut?

Smoke from a fire can be very thick and black – plan and practise an escape route!

If you have a fire, get everyone out and call 999. Remember, don’t go back in!

Last night we welcomed Spilsby Squirrels (this is for children aged between 4 and 6 years old) They learnt about smoke detectors, escape plans and how to keep low if there was smoke in a room. Plus of course we squirted some water! Brilliant fun had by all. @2ndSpilsby

Flipping Heck! Did you know that cooking is the number one cause of accidental fires in the home?
Be alert while cooking don't get distracted and always turn off appliances once you have finished with them

PS do you know what the best pancake topping is?
