Wildfire22

This is the Twitter page for our Wildfire Conference to be held in Belfast 9-10th November 2022

[Belfast Hills @BelfastHills]

Please be vigilant this weekend if you are on the Hills or have a good view of them from your home. If you see a wildfire please report it immediately to 999 and do not try to tackle the blaze yourself.

[Belfast Hills @BelfastHills]

While the good weather is great it also increases the risk of wildfire in the hills. Please behave responsibly & avoid any naked flames. Last weekend's wildfire up on @NationalTrustNI Divis looks to have been caused by (unauthorised!) campers 🔥
Report smoke or fires to ☎️ 999

[Wildfire22 @Wildfire2022]

Just a reminder on how to react if you see a #wildfire around the Belfast Hills.

[Belfast Hills @BelfastHills]

As we enter wildfire season please remember to report wildfires via 999 ASAP. 
If it is safe you can also share pictures with us to show where it probably started and local wind direction, which in the hills can be highly variable.

What do you think of the use of goats to prevent wildfires?!

[RTÉ News @rtenews]

No kidding - 37 baby goats have joined the herd helping to prevent wildfires in a spectacular location overlooking Dublin Bay. 🐐

Earlier this week we said goodbye to our colleague Noel Rice who has retired after 5 years with BHP. Noel has been instrumental in the Wildlife Connections project & most recently The @Wildfire2022 Conference. We wish him all the best & many years of happy retirement!
