Dear Resident
As the late May bank holiday and half term arrive alongside warmer weather, Humberside Fire and Rescue Service is reminding everyone to stay safe while enjoying the outdoors.
With more people heading out for picnics, walks, camping trips and days by the water, it’s vital to be aware of the risks and take simple steps to prevent serious incidents.
🔥 Prevent fires – small actions make a big difference Hot, dry weather means fires can start easily and spread quickly. Help reduce the risk: 🗑️ Take your litter home or use bins 🚭 Make sure cigarettes are fully out ❌ Don’t use disposable BBQs or light fires in parks, fields or open spaces
Having a BBQ at home? 🚨 If you see a fire:
If you see anyone starting fires deliberately, you can report it anonymously to FireStoppers: 📞 0800 169 5558 💻 www.firestoppersreport.co.uk
🌊 Stay safe near water Rivers, lakes and ponds can look safe - but they can be very dangerous. Stay safe: If someone is in trouble in the water: 📞 Call 999 immediately ❌ Don’t go in after them
Remember: Float to Live ⚠️ Carbon Monoxide – a hidden danger If you’re camping or staying in a caravan/motorhome or on a boat, carbon monoxide is a serious risk. It’s a deadly gas you can’t see, smell or taste. Never: Always: Know the signs: If in doubt, get outside into fresh air immediately and seek medical advice. Call 999 if symptoms are severe, such as trouble breathing or losing consciousness.
Let’s work together to keep everyone safe this bank holiday and half term. ➡️ Please share this message to help protect your communities, homes and countryside. More safety advice:
