With hot weather forecast over the next few days, please take care around water, and NEVER be tempted to go for a swim. Cold Water Shock kills even the strongest of swimmers.

Please don’t use sky lanterns to show your support for the NHS and other key workers. The moors are tinder dry at the moment and they could cause a wildfire or harm wildlife such as horses and cattle. #ClapForTheNHS #ClapForCarers pic.twitter.com/EFJdiRSXjI
We would like to say a huge thank you to warburtonsuk for their kind donation to the team. As you would expect, we have had to spend money on vital PPE beyond what we normally need to carry to help protect our… instagram.com/p/B-19dHtBIll/…

Incident 69/2008
At 15:25 this afternoon, NWAS (Lancashire Area) contacted our Team Leader by mobile phone to request the team’s services with the report of a 17 year old female suffering from heat exhaustion and stomach pains in the Earnsdale Reservoir area below the moorland slopes of Darwen Tower.
Four crewed team Landrover vehicles and our Team Leader responded to this incident (in total, 17 team members), along with an NWAS (Lancashire) ambulance from Blackburn.
Our first vehicle arrived on scene at 15:53 at the same time that the NWAS emergency ambulance arrived.
The female casualty in a party of three other people was quickly assessed and with assistance was able to walk to the responding NWAS ambulance. All other vehicles responding were stood down (most very close to the RVP).
