This is such an important lifesaving skill! 👇

🦦 Learn to float like an otter!

💙 Print it, stick it on the fridge, and practise together!

⚠️ Floating is a key water safety skill:

1️⃣ Tilt your head back
Submerge your ears.

2️⃣ Relax
Stay calm and control your breathing.

3️⃣ Move your hands and legs
Gently help yourself stay afloat.

4️⃣ Your legs may sink – that’s OK
Everyone floats differently.

5️⃣ Find your float
Practise regularly in a safe, supervised environment.

🚩 Cleveland Fire Brigade provide free water safety talks for schools (including Early Years), colleges, youth clubs and youth groups.

💙 Dementia Action Week

Did you know Cleveland Fire Brigade supports people living with dementia across our communities?

Our dedicated Advocates can carry out free safer homes visits, helping people with dementia stay safe and independent in their own homes.

During Dementia Action Week, we’re highlighting how our Advocates have taken part in dementia awareness sessions to better understand the challenges people may face. This helps them recognise risks, respond with confidence, and provide practical, compassionate support to those affected.

🌻 World Bee Day reminds us that even the smallest creatures make the biggest difference. 🐝

Bees are essential for pollination, supporting biodiversity and the food we rely on every day.

✨Do you have the what3words app?

📍 Have you heard of what3words?

📌 It’s a free app that helps you share your exact location in an emergency.

🧑‍🚒 Recently, firefighters at Cleveland Fire Brigade used what3words to quickly find a fire in a rural area. The emergency call included a what3words location, which meant crews knew exactly where to go.

🚒 Because they had a precise location, they arrived faster and stopped the fire spreading, protecting wildlife, nature, and nearby areas.

How it works:

Every 3 metre square in the world has a unique 3-word address. You can give this to emergency services so they know exactly where you are.

✅ Faster response

✅ More accurate location

✅ Could save lives

💛 Download the what3words app today so if you ever need to call 999, you can tell us exactly where to find you.
