@MarkyateFire attended a deliberately set small fire in some woods in Markyate. The crew quickly and safely extinguished the fire before it could spread.

[Herts Fire & Rescue @HFRS]

⚠️We are strongly advising you not to light bonfires in this dry weather.

The grass is so dry that the fire can easily spread far beyond where you intend it to burn, and stray embers could quickly turn your whole garden into flames.

At the beginning of June, dry weather caused a fire in Watford to spread out of control, seriously damaging 3 houses and 12 gardens.

We need your help to stop these fires starting during the #heatwave. Read our advice on bonfires and BBQs here: https://t.co/ofPB4EnFGi

[Canal & River Trust Boating @CRTBoating]

Avoid fires and carbon monoxide poisoning on your #boat. Steer clear of dangerous behaviour https://t.co/a1EcHrSTYd Don't use a BBQ on board. Please RT @BSS_BoatSafety @NFCC_FireChiefs

[Herts Fire & Rescue @HFRS]

Open water looks tempting in this weather, but you never know what dangers lie beneath the surface of rivers and lakes.

It's better to wait for swimming pools to re-open if you're desperate to take a dip.
