If you feel the ice cracking beneath you before a fall, prepare yourself for the shock of cold water. The shock of the water causes immediate changes in breathing and heart rate, so it is not to be underestimated.

This incident highlights why you should always ensure your escape route is clear and why we recommend to never charge your e-bike or e-scooter on your means of escape, such as a hallway or by your front door.

Firefighters are trying to contain a fire on the roof of a building in downtown Toronto after a possible explosion, with thick black smoke billowing from the site.

The boy fell from the seventh floor and landed in an area of mulch. Despite the fall, the child was alert, breathing, and conscious, though he was crying.

Emergency crews responded around 9:05 a.m. to the Department of Fire Services Firefighting Academy facility, where a person had been reportedly injured in a fall.

The Scottish fire and rescue service confirmed that, while standard city-based fire engines were on the scene within minutes of the first 999 call, the nearest available high-reach appliance which adds vital additional capacity to tackle a large blaze came from Coatbridge, an 11-mile (18km), 26-minute drive away in light traffic.

The FDNY says that the fire was reported on the 12th floor of an apartment building on 190 York St. just after 1:30 a.m. Over 100 fire and EMS personnel responded.

LFB Dozens of firefighters have extinguished a fire in the basement of a data centre in east London. London Fire Brigade (LFB) said around 60 firefighters and eight fire engines were called to Nutmeg Lane, Blackwall at 04:50 GMT on Saturday. The fire broke out in a battery room containing lead-acid batteries and was brought under control before 07:00. The cause of the blaze has not been determined.

If you are choking and are alone, try to get yourself into a high-traffic area, such as a hallway in a building or outside your house. If you pass out, you're way more likely to be found as opposed to being in a room in a building or your house. Call 911 even though you can't speak. Someone will be sent to your location by dispatch.

The fire has now been brought under control by firefighters but crews remain on scene to fully extinguish the fire and to dampen down. No one has been reported injured. People in the area were advised to keep their windows and doors closed at the height of the fire due to smoke travelling from the incident. A spokesperson for LFB said: Battersea Park Road remains closed between the junctions of Queenstown Road and Havelock Terrace.
