We know that on warmer days open water, such as rivers, lakes and the coast, can look like a tempting place to cool off, but it is full of hidden dangers. Incidents around water can happen in seconds. In an emergency, call 999 immediately and ask for the fire service if inland and the Coastguard if you are at the coast. Never enter the water to attempt a rescue. Tell the person to float on their back and look around and see if there’s any rescue equipment nearby that you can throw to the person. See how to stay safe in and around water at: northyorks.gov.uk/healthy-li…
