We’re seeing lots of bonfires out of control today.

Please only burn if absolutely necessary. These conditions are very dangerous and embers will travel on the wind causing further fires.

🚒 Wildfires don't always start with a big blaze. Sometimes all it takes is one small spark.

If you discover a fire, get to a safe place, note the location and call 999 immediately.

Early reports make all the difference. 🌿

[Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service @DWFireRescue]

☀️ Hot, dry weather means wildfire risk is high.

Please help protect our countryside:

Having working smoke alarms & carbon monoxide alarms when you’re staying in a caravan is just as important as having them in your home. Make sure your caravan has both type of alarms fitted, and test them regularly.
