It only takes one spark. 🔥

Wildfires can start in seconds — and often, human activity is the cause.

🚬 Ci******es and litter
🔥 BBQs, campfires and bonfires
⚠️ Deliberate fire-setting

Hot, dry and windy conditions can then help fires spread quickly.

If you're enjoying the outdoors this summer, take extra care.

See a wildfire? Get to safety and call 999.
