With the cold weather and icy conditions that we are experiencing at the moment. We wanted to highlight the dangers of walking on ice covering the lakes, canals, and reservoirs around our area.

Although the ice may look thick and fun to skate around on, the ice may not be as thick as it appears.

Even our shallow bodies of water like ponds can cause drowning due to cold water shock if ice breaks unexpectedly.

Please bear this in mind when out and about, walking your dogs or even your children playing in the snow

The Pennine area has experience an increasing number of kitchen fires, which have primarily been cooking related and items being left on top of hobs and work surfaces.

Please don’t use your hob as extra worktop space - it can be dangerous

Children or pets could accidentally switch it on, causing a fire

We’ve attended incidents where items like washing baskets have been left on the hob and caught fire

Always keep your cooking area clear, clutter-free, and safe.
