    Whether you have a dishwasher, tumble dryer or washing machine, please avoid leaving them running overnight or unattended - they can sometimes overheat, or even cause fires. It's vital to also have working smoke alarms at home, so that you can be alerted early and escape safely.

    Would you know who to call? 📞 In an emergency, every single second counts - so always call 999 if you ever see someone who needs help. Just remember, ask for the Coastguard if it's by the sea, and by inland water (such as a river or a lake), just ask for the fire service.
