Western Isles Fire

Scottish Fire & Rescue Service on the Western Isles

[Western Isles Fire @Fire_WIsles]

Thanks @WIslesPolice for your quick response/assistance and thanks also to the public at the Wildfire near Cameron Terrace today your patience and common sense was greatly appreciate. Wildfire is unpredictable and smoke blocking the road can put everyone at risk @fire_scot

[Western Isles Fire @Fire_WIsles]

Three crews attended an incident in Gravir during the night. Wildfire which spread and destroyed one building then almost took two more. Likely to be Muirburn left unattended from earlier. The current wind conditions are not suitable for Muirburn @fire_scot
