🚫 Hold off on bonfires until the rain comes

This week, our crews have been called out to several bonfires that quickly got out of control. With the ground so dry, even a tiny spark can spread faster than you think.

Help us to keep your family, neighbours and community safe.

In dry conditions, the smallest of bonfires or charcoal barbecues can quickly spread to cause incredibly serious fires – so please don’t take the risk. Like other fire and rescue services across the country we are incredibly busy at the moment, so please help us to help you and follow our safety advice to stay out of harm’s way:

🔥 Please don’t have bonfires or campfires
🔥 Please avoid having charcoal barbecues
🔥 If you’re a smoker, please dispose of ci******es responsibly – make sure they’re properly out and not near to dry ground
