5/5 At the height of the fire, 4 crews & 2 water bowsers were in attendance and firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used hose-reel jets, an ultra-high-pressure lance to contain the fire. An investigation into the cause of the fire will take place when it is safe to do so.

Most drivers only notice tyre problems when something goes wrong, yet many issues start long before the signs become obvious. Subtle vibrations, heavier steering or slight pulling across the road can all point to tyre wear or pressure imbalance. A few checks each week help detect problems early.

4/4 ❄️Once rescued, remove wet clothes, get them dry and warm quickly, and seek immediate medical attention as hypothermia sets in fast.

❄️Use the "Shout, Reach, Throw, Don't Go" method from the shore: shout instructions, reach with a long object (pole, branch, clothing), throw something buoyant (ball, rope), and never go in yourself to avoid becoming a second victim. 3/4>>>
