Not least because of recent sad incidents, I want to give this Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service event some publicity - check out their twitter feed.
Boat Safety presentation 7:30pm18th Jan Cross Keys Great Bedwyn .If you own a canal boat come along collect free smoke-carbon monoxide alarm
There's a 30 minute chat, then they will be handing out free smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors to boat owners.
Tell your mates, alert them on Snap Chat, Facebook, text them, call them, knock on their boat, by any means get them there.
By my reckoning, I think from memory (caveat) its been 6 boaters died in 5 boat fires between Newbury and Bristol since 2003
................... And if you're not from that area, call your local fire service and ask for a boat fire risk/safety check.
Please spread the word
Thanks
