⚠️ Don’t jump into open water. It can cause cold water shock, and be deadly. 👀 Always supervise children near open water. 🏊 If you fall in: Float to Live - lean back, breathe, move gently. 📞 If someone’s in trouble, call 999 or 112 – never jump in. #WaterSafety #FloatToLive

We're working with @WMPolice to understand the circumstances surrounding two house fires in #Bilston. Very sadly, a man was confirmed to have died at one of the properties. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by these events. More on our website: wmfs.link/4maylKY

I was very glad to meet some of the firefighters based at Binley Fire Station. Their recent response to the serious fire at Henley College was a credit to their bravery and professionalism. I’m grateful for the work that @WestMidsFire do to keep us all safe.
