Post by Apprentice Community Safety Advisor Francesca Martinelli:

I arrived into work today for a meeting with a colleague, so nothing too out of the ordinary.

However, I was informed by one of my team in Manchester Central Station that there would be some promotional work to encourage the Ban The Pan message promoting cooking safety.

I said at the time when asked, that I would be happy to get involved and spread the message.

What I did not realise is that what I was actually being asked to do was join in a video that was about to go in front of the rest of the world on Youtube!

The first I knew of the plans for the GMFRS Harlem Shake was when I was I was handed a pan followed by - for some reason that is still unknown to me - a tiger!

I had a fantastic afternoon filming for the video and thoroughly enjoyed being part of this fantastic new way of getting our safety messages out to the public.

I would definitely get involved again with any future videos.

Who knows next time I may even bring my own stuffed animals?!
