Today is World suicide prevention day.
Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK or Ireland dies by suicide. We can all make a difference by checking in on those around us.

[Essex Fire Service @ECFRS]

With more rain on the way, please take extra care on the roads.
- Don't drive through flood water
- Slow down and drive carefully
- We can only attend if there is a risk to life, so help us help you by looking after yourself and not taking unnecessary risks.

🚒 🎄Essex Fire and Rescue Service have reenacted the iconic scene from Love Actually to share safety tips this Christmas.

Let's see what screenwriter and director Richard Curtis thinks of it 🤔

[Road Safety GB NE @RSGB_NE]

Young people hold around 7% of driving licences in the region but account for 17% of all road casualties.

Speed, distraction, drink/drug driving, and poor judgment are major factors, while failing to wear seatbelts increases the severity of collisions.

Being a beach lifeguard has an obvious appeal 🌞⛱️🌊 However, our latest lifeguard survey showed that lifeguards with the RLSS UK’s NVBLQ found many other benefits to being a beach lifeguard. To find out more visit https://t.co/1wWbE5W5nE

Over 1,200 fires last year were caused by hidden and loose batteries being thrown in with general rubbish and recycling.

Never bin batteries or electricals. Always recycle them separately. Use @recycleelectric postcode locator to find recycling points: https://t.co/3Qwy3ZZZ0T

With the arrival of spring and warmer weather, bikers turn their minds to the long-awaited return to getting back out on the roads 🏍️

Here is Ben, one of our FireBike riders with some advice on how to get yourself and your bike prepared.

@gailbrodholt Love your work x

[Essex Fire Service @ECFRS]

Big shoutout to the amazing volunteers at @salvationarmy! 🙌🏼 They were there for us during a challenging weekend at a recycling centre fire in Pitsea.

Their support kept our hardworking crews well-fed and hydrated, allowing us to tackle the incident ❤️

This is a recent photo of Papermill Lock, Little Baddow & will likely get worse following today's rain forecast.

If you're planning a walk check if the path's passable & don't attempt to walk through flooded areas.

It's not recommended to kayak, etc through flood.

[Essex Fire Service @ECFRS]

Please help us spread the word - If a road is flooded, turn around and find another safe route 🚗

We've taken around 100 flood-related calls today and have rescued dozens of people - and a dog 🐶 - from cars trapped in flooded roads.

@donnajobentley @ECFRS @Group1Audi @FIRE_Editor @AsianFSA Thank you @donnajobentley xxx

[The Secret Firefighter UK @TheSecretFF999]

Wow! This new angle shows just how dramatic this rescue really was, and how close the gentleman came to losing his life in such a horrific way!

Glen Edwards (crane driver/operator) really deserves some recognition for this act! 👏

Did you see @BBCOne #RipOffBritain this morning which featured interviews with Deputy Commissioner Dom Ellis & Assistant Commissioner Charlie Pugsley? They spoke about our #ChargeSafe campaign & gave important safety advice. Watch iPlayer https://t.co/p4iGOF9YyQ (from 7 mins 56)

A charging e-bike caught alight at a house in Southend today.

Although we don't believe the bike set alight due to mishandling, make sure you follow the manufacturer’s instructions and unplug your charger when it’s finished.
