Well done to fire crews who worked through the night. Large hotel fire in Torbay requiring evacuation of almost one hundred guests. Breathing apparatus crews dealt with a serious fire and search and rescue operation. Thank you incident commander @robcude@DSFireUpdates

The weather might still be warm, but autumn is around the corner which means you might want to think about heating. We recommend you have your chimney swept before the first fire, to reduce your risk of chimney fires. Book yours now before the chimney sweeps get busy!

What can you do to help reduce the risk of wildfires? Some retailers have stopped selling disposable BBQ’s. My view is disposable BBQ’s should be banned. We have seen far too many wildfires this year caused by disposable BBQ’s.
In July this year, Fire Control answered over 400 calls about small fires in the open, with 114 for one incident alone! This compares to 150 calls received in July 2021.
As the hot weather continues see our advice on reducing the risk of wildfires.
