Leamington Fire Station

🏕️ Planning a camping trip this August Bank Holiday?
With dry weather increasing the risk of fire, we're asking everyone to take extra care when camping, whether you're staying at a festival, campsite or enjoying the countryside.
🔥 Keep camping stoves and gas canisters well away from BBQs and other sources of heat.
🔥 Do not use disposable BBQs. They can remain dangerously hot long after use and can easily start fires if placed on dry grass or disposed of incorrectly. Never use BBQs, cooking equipment or gas appliances inside tents or enclosed spaces.
🔥 Never leave cooking equipment unattended and always ensure it has fully cooled before moving or disposing of it.
🚬 Extinguish ci******es completely and dispose of them responsibly. A discarded cigarette can quickly ignite dry grass and vegetation.
Let's all do our bit to prevent fires and keep ourselves, fellow campers and Warwickshire safe this Bank Holiday weekend. See less

A small fire can start in seconds – but the consequences can last a lifetime.
What might seem like harmless curiosity or ‘something to do’ with friends can quickly turn into something much more serious.
We’re asking parents and carers to have open, honest conversations with children about the risks.
Even if they’re part of a group, choosing to set fires or being present when it happens – can still lead to serious consequences.
Please remind children:
Never to play with fire
To leave the area immediately if a fire is started
To tell a trusted adult
To call 999 if a fire starts
Fire setting can put lives at risk, harm wildlife and the environment, and have lasting impacts on those involved.
