Wildfire prevention tips | News

Following the recent heatwave and current government fire alert, it's important we all play our part to prevent wildfires.

Please:

• Don't light fires in the countryside, parks, moorland, or woodland.
• Only use barbecues in designated areas where they are permitted. 
• Fully extinguish barbecues and campfires with water before leaving.
• Take all litter home, especially glass bottles, which can help start fires in dry conditions.
• Never throw cigarette ends onto roadsides, pavements, parks, or grassy areas

If you see a wildfire, move to a safe space and report it by calling 999.

A small action can prevent a major fire and help keep our communities safe. For more wildfire safety tips, please visit here.
