🚨 We’re consulting on how we respond to automatic fire alarms (AFAs). 99% of the calls we receive from AFAs are false alarms. The consultation does not affect the way we respond to 999 calls, confirmed fires & AFA notifications from residential homes.

Remember to #RespectTheWater ! If you find yourself in difficulty in the water, don’t panic. Lean back in the water and float on your back until the effects of cold water shock pass. Read more on our website: #WaterWise #OneTeamForBerkshire

Please don't be tempted to cool off in open water. Whilst the weather is warming up, rivers and lakes are still cold. Cold water shock catches even the best swimmers out. Remember to #FloatToLive if you get into trouble in the water: #BeWaterAware

As the weather warms up, remember to #BeWaterAware ! If someone is in trouble in water, call 999. At the coast, ask for the coastguard. If you’re inland, ask for the fire and rescue service. Read more on our website: #WaterWise #OneTeamForBerkshire

False alarms can be caused by several issues, for example, aerosol sprays, cooking fumes or a fire alarm system that hasn’t been serviced properly. We are consulting on proposals to change the way the Service responds to these types of calls.

Well done to our Firefighter apprentices who completed a fundraiser for @firefighters999 on Saturday at two Berkshire locations - Lexicon and M4 Reading Services W. Initial counts show that around £7000 has been raised but there is still time to donate.

Please take care around Berkshire’s waterways. It may be getting warmer outside, but the water is still cold. Cold water shock can have a dramatic effect on your body, endangering even the strongest swimmers. Read more: #WaterWise #OneTeamForBerkshire
