Do Not Light Fires or BBQs

Fire
2nd August 2024

Every year fire and rescue services respond to fires in the countryside that could easily have been prevented.

These fires can tie up fire crews for hours, or sometimes days, and cause damage to wildlife habitats.

We’re asking you to help us this summer by following our advice to protect yourselves and our beautiful countryside.

PLEASE do not light any fires or have BBQ's in the woods. It could be catastrophic.

If you are visiting the countryside please stick to paths, leave gates and property as you find them, take your litter home especially glass bottles/jars, dispose of smoking materials carefully.
