With the warmer weather we’re having over the next few days, we want you to stay safe while enjoying the sun.

🔥 Do not leave disposable BBQ's or glass bottles in open areas. They can easily start a fire which will spread rapidly damaging woodland areas and wildlife.

🛟 Stay safe around water. If you see anyone in trouble in the water, remember phone 999, tell them to float on their back, throw any nearby rescue equipment.

🪞 Keep objects like mirrors out of direct sunlight as they can concentrate the sun's rays, causing near-by objects to set fire.

A Crew from Coleshill station Green Watch are currently at Kingsbury water park giving advice to visitors.
The advice is aimed at fire safety outdoors and water awareness.
We would like to remind everyone to keep safe around the water at the park
Only safe place to swim is a swimming pool or a life guarded beach.
If you enter the water be aware of cold water shock, FLOAT TO LIVE.
Be aware of water dept, and what hazards lie below the surface. Your feet can become trapped in snags causing you to become tired and in moving water can cause you to become submerged .
If you see someone in trouble

THINK - Don’t put yourself in danger

SHOUT- For help call 999 & Request the Fire Service

REACH - With a stick or pole

THROW - A rope or something that will Float.

Remember to use What 3 Words to us your exact location so we can get to you quicker.

This bank holiday weekend with the rise in temperatures we wish to remind people of the risks of using Disposable BBQ’s incorrectly.
It doesn’t take much for a small fire or incorrectly disposed of BBQ to do a lot of damage and escalate quickly.
Please remember a lot of local parks do not allow the use of Disposable BBQ’s please follow on site instructions.
If you do BBQ
Follow Safety Instructions supplied with the BBQ
Never leave it unattended
Make sure your BBQ is well away from sheds, fences, trees and shrubs.
If in a country park that allows the use of Disposable BBQ’s, only use in the designated areas.
Do not dispose of hot BBQ in to a Dustbin.
Allow to cool and ensure it’s fully extinguished.
Keep children and pets away.
Enjoy yourself but don’t drink too much if in charge of the BBQ.

IF YOU SEE A FIRE REPORT IT
Don not attempt to tackle a fire yourself.

Stay safe this Bank Holiday weekend.

Crews will be visiting local parks and open Water sites. Come and say hello and if you Iive in Warwickshire ask about a free Fire Safety in the home visit.
Or call 01926 466282 and book your visit today.

We don’t want to speak too soon, but it looks like we have some sunshine! We suspect many of you are already eyeing up the garden and thinking about dusting off that BBQ. We’ve got some top tips to ensure that it’s just the food heating up!

🔥Place well clear of fences, sheds and trees and always on level ground (Disposables on slabs!)
❌Use proper lighters only (NEVER petrol!)
🐾Never leave unattended; keep children/pets far away.
💦Keep water/sand handy to help extinguish once you’re finished.
🧊Ensure ashes are stone cold before disposal in metal bin!

❤️🚗 THANK YOU, COLESHILL! 🚗❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our charity car wash at Coleshill Fire Station – what an incredible community day!

Thanks to your generosity, we raised an amazing £735.98 for a fantastic cause, The Firefighters Charity! 👏

👶 We also carried out 28 child car seat safety checks, with 10 found to be incorrectly fitted. Thank you to everyone who took the time to get checked and help make their journeys safer.

It was fantastic to welcome so many people to the station and see such strong community spirit. Your support, donations, and friendly faces made the event truly special.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who attended, donated, and helped make the day such a success.

“A cleaner car, a safer family.”

Thank you again – we look forward to seeing you at the next one! 🚒
