FREE fire safety advice and FREE
smoke alarms

East Kent Mum says that she
contacted the local Fire Service and was amazed by the free and friendly
service she received. We discussed an emergency escape route should there ever
be a fire. And, as we didn’t have any smoke alarms, the fire service fitted 3 alarms
for free!

3. AMBULANCE SERVICE

East Kent Mum says she had to
use the ambulance service when her blood pressure became high enough to be of
concern by the midwife. Fantastic service and East Kent Mum was at QEQM
hospital delivering baby no. 2 in no time!

4. RNLI – LIFEBOATS & LIFEGUARDS
East Kent Mum says East Kent is full of beautiful beaches. But, the sea can be dangerous and it’s important our children are fully informed in sea and beach safety.
In an emergency, dial 999 or
112.
See the RNLI’s webpage on beach and sea safety
East Kent Mum says remember to apply a high factor sunscreen and wear sun hats on the beach. Cool winds in East Kent can be deceptive!

East Kent Mum says to look out for charity events as our lifeboat stations need all the support they can get.
