Today, we're launching our festive campaign '12 Days of Christmas'. Every other day, up until Christmas Eve, we will be sharing a piece of advice to help keep you safe during the festive season.

As well as featuring teams from across the Service, we have collaborated with partner organisations to provide these key safety messages.

Thank you to @thamesvalleypolice for helping us share the first topic: drink driving - it's not worth the risk.

On Saturday evening, our White Watch crew from Newbury attended the Christmas Lights Switch On in Newbury Town Centre.

We will remember them.

This #RemembranceDay, we’ll be joining in the national two-minute silence at 11am to honour and remember all those who are currently serving, who have served and who have lost their lives serving their country.

As the union flag flies at full-mast across our Service’s buildings, our teams will come together throughout Berkshire to commemorate all those who have lost their lives in conflicts around the world.

Our Fire Cadets at Crowthorne and Maidenhead have also created a fitting tribute out of knots, lines and hose ahead of the day.
