Well done to the amazing team from Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service.... Special mention to Burton Latimer Firefighters Georgie Abbott and Toria Hodgson who formed a part of the team to complete this incredible challenge in honour of all affected on 9/11.

A team of eight firefighters have completed an emotional stair climb challenge in the United States, in memory of the firefighters who lost their lives 25 years ago during the 9/11 attacks.

Mick, Carly, Dean, Georgie, Dan, Ava, Ronnie and Toria travelled to Atlanta, in Georgia, on 3 September to join forces with more than 1,200 firefighters from across the globe for a special fundraising event.

More than 200 UK firefighters took part and have raised more than £17,000.

A huge well done to everyone involved and you can read more about the challenge here https://orlo.uk/IINku

With the warmer summer weather, water may look inviting, but the temperature of the water can be low enough to cause 'Cold Water Shock'.
Parents - make sure your children are aware of the dangers about jumping in, things can quickly go wrong, even for strong swimmers:

- Cold water shock
- Hidden hazards under the surface
- Strong currents and unseen forces
- Shallow or changing depths
- Impact injuries from height (tombstoning)

Make sure they know what to do if someone gets into trouble in the water:
❌ Don’t jump in
✅ Call 999
✅ Use something to help from the side (ball, stick, life ring)

Remember: Float to Live if you fall in unexpectedly.
