Do not dispose of BBQ's until they are cold! Thankfully the West Coast weather 🌦️prevented the 1st image of causing significant damage to surrounding forest. Both careless actions within days of each other, enjoy the outdoor's but follow the guidance attached!

"Make the call" is the latest campaign by @fire_scot at preventing fires from occurring within the home, particularly aimed at those who may be at greater risk. If someone meets the criteria of high risk, call for a free Home fire Safety visit.
