Seven years ago, I spoke to BBC News about open water dangers. 🌊 Sadly, July–Sept still brings a spike in deaths. Please stay safe— @WestMerciaSAR FREE water safety course #HomeAndDry 💙 westmerciasar.org.uk/homeand…

Please avoid the #Wrekin we are dealing with a #wildfire that is difficult to access.
🚜 Main access to the Wrekin is being utilised for ferrying water.
🔥 Danger of moving vehicles and potential fire spread.

Last night I attended two flooding incidents due to an extreme weather event over Church Stretton and Wellington. A huge thank you to crews and @SFRS_Control for their excellent response and compassion to their communities.
An effective multi agency response. @ShropshireStar
