Events and meetings | West Yorkshire Police
Be Moor Aware – Moorland Fire Safety
Kirklees Rural NPT issued fines to 3 people for lighting a fire earlier this month at Digley Reservoir, in breach of the PSPO (Public Space Protection Order).
Along with partners, we want people to #BeMoorAware of the impacts that moorland wildfire has on our communities and how we can help to prevent future wildfires across West Yorkshire.

Water Safety Advice – Water Safety | West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service
WYFRS continues to urge the public to keep safe around water by following key advice:
- Avoid swimming in open water such as reservoirs, rivers and canals.
- Water can be much colder than it looks, even in warm weather.
- Hidden hazards beneath the surface can cause serious injury.
- Alcohol and water are a dangerous combination.
- If you see someone in trouble, call 999 and ask for the fire service. Tell them to float on their back and throw them rescue equipment. Do not enter the water yourself.
