🚨💨There's another strong smell of smoke across our area this morning.

We are aware that some residents are reporting seeing and smelling smoke across the area.

The smoke is believed to be linked to significant fires across the country, with prevailing winds carrying smoke across our area.

If smoke is particularly noticeable in your area, we recommend keeping windows and doors closed where possible as a precaution.

With conditions currently very dry, we are urging everyone to remain vigilant and take extra care to help prevent fires.

If you see or suspect a fire, please call 999 and ask for the fire and rescue service.

Please share this information with friends, family and neighbours who may be affected.

Just a reminder that we do not permit BBQs or open fires on our green spaces (Newman's Field and Westerleigh Playing Field.) This is especially important this summer.

Thank you.

Across Bristol, we still have very dry grass due to the prolonged period of hot weather. 🔥 Even a small spark can quickly start a grass fire, destroying green space, wildlife habitats, and natural ecosystems, and leaving lasting damage to the environment.

❌ Please DO NOT use any BBQs if you visit local parks or green spaces as the dry grass is still highly vulnerable to fire.

Thank you for your continued help in protecting our communities, parks and wildlife 💚
