Yes we still do rescue kittyβs, not always in trees though. White watch just rescued this ginger prince outta some tight space between boxed up pipework! 1 grateful owner and a very grateful feline! πππ
A great event at the South & City College, Ward End was delighted to interact with fresh faces that stepped through their doors and showcase our VR rtc footage. It was a real eye opener for most. Information was absorbed like a sponge! Thanks all involved last week. ππ½ππ½ππ½
White Watch went over to Ward End Park to perform open water pump training on Tuesday, preparing for any incident. We also engaged with the local community and staff from the Dolphin Centre.

π₯ If you've built your own bonfire, it could be damp and tricky to light.
β DON'T use a flammable liquid, such as petrol, to get it going or to keep it burning.
β Make sure the fire's well away from houses, sheds, fences, trees and anything else that could catch fire.
π Sparklers aren't toys. They can generate heat levels comparable to a welding torch.
Don't let under-5s use them.
Always supervise children using sparklers.
Avoid wearing loose clothing when using, or near, sparklers or fireworks.
