As summer gets into full swing, West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service is highlighting the dangers of open water and has launched its #BeWaterAware campaign to help people stay safe.

In 2021, 23 accidental drowning fatalities were recorded in Yorkshire and the Humber, eight of which were in West Yorkshire.

Crews delivered a simulated water rescue exercise on the River Aire, Royal Armouries Drive, on Thursday.
