Heatwave Safety

When temperatures soar, we all need to keep a cool head when it comes to our safety.

Remember - if you do have an emergency, always call 999.

But there’s lots we can do to avoid emergencies in the first place - from being sensible with barbecues, bonfires and near open water, to carefully disposing of cigarettes and matches.

Please also check in on vulnerable relatives, friends and neighbours who might struggle to cope with the heat.

We’ve pulled together our top pages of safety tips for playing it cool when the heat is on.
