During this heatwave we are urging people not to be having bonfires or barbecues in open spaces. We have attended a number of calls during this heatwave which we think a little common sense would go a long way. Enjoy the sunshine, but also think about the dangers.

Last year, there were more than 1,000 accidental electrical fires involving everyday household white goods like tumble dryers and washing machines across England – that’s the equivalent of three fires every single day.
