An English newspaper has a feature about a water safety demonstration performed by Cornwall first responder personnel. The group staged a scenario in which a man and his dog were in the water, and had to be rescued. The man was a firefighter who volunteered for the demonstration. The authorities were trying to make people aware of the fact that getting into the cold water is very dangerous. They advise calling 999 or throwing something floatable if they see somebody in the water.

Key Takeaways:

• Water temperatures are as yet icy as of now of the year and we ask individuals not to enter the water.
• In the event that you see somebody stuck in an unfortunate situation, call 999 and glance around for lifesaving hardware to toss or anything that may help a setback remain above water.
• Most recent insights demonstrate that in 2015, 321 individuals passed on in the wake of stumbling, falling or just belittling the dangers related with being close water.

“It just goes to shows how even relatively benign looking sections of water can still be dangerous, I would have had very real difficulty staying afloat had I been wearing everyday clothing.”
