Water Safety

As well as warning young people about the dangers of open water, the campaign also offers advice on what to do if you get into trouble in the water (float to live), and what you should do if you see someone else in difficulty in the water (call, tell, throw – call 999 and ask for fire if inland or the coastguard if by the sea, tell the struggling person to try to float on their back and throw them something that floats).

Be Moor Aware

The wildfire campaign (Be Moor Aware) aims to prevent moorland fires and wildfires, and to reduce the impact which they have on our service, communities, businesses and the environment. https://www.manchesterfire.gov.uk/your-safety/campaigns/be-moor-aware/

Be a Firestopper

Even small outdoor fires can be dangerous, because they place additional stress on our limited resources – dealing with a nuisance fire affects our ability to respond to more serious incidents like house fires or road traffic accidents.

FireStoppers gives people an anonymous way to report what they know about deliberate firesetting. It’s managed by the independent charity CrimeStoppers, who remove all details that could be used to identify the person who has contacted them before passing the report to us for investigation.
