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.

Large Animal Rescue !!!

Tonight the duty crew were called to a large animal trapped in a cattle grid.

Upon arrival it appeared that a very important Reindeer got its leg stuck!

The crews acted swiftly to release the animal using specialist equipment and was reunited with its friend's.

No pictures were allowed ,but this was the stations most important rescue yet!
We spoke with the owner, who was in a hurry .......
When suddenly he sprang to his sleigh, to his team, gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But we heard him exclaim, ‘as he flew out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!

To all our followers, supporters and friends, we, here at Raunds Fire Station hope you all have a very Merry Christmas 🎅🎄😉
