Hot weather

24th of June, 2024

As the weather improves and we start to see Summer finally approaching, the demand for emergency services increases throughout the country. 

Please take the time to utilise all available advice on the NHS website to keep yourself safe in the hot weather.

We have already seen an increase in calls in the DARWEN area to report heat exhaustion, fainting and dizziness. 

Although these are usually medical issues, the Police often respond due to demand and to safeguard. 

Please help the Constabulary by keeping yourself safe and reporting issues via 101 or Online, unless they are emergencies.

Take care and stay safe,
