Wildfire risk raised to "Extreme"

Wiltshire

29/05/2020

The wildfire risk has currently been raised to 'Extreme' conditions not seen here for many years. Please take extra caution around:

Littering, Disposable BBQs, Cigarettes, Glassware.

Campfires, Bonfires becoming out of control.

Cars parked on verges - heat and exhaust igniting very dry grass.

Dorset & Wilts Fire & Rescue Service have asked that you do not have barbecues or naked flames in the open countryside! Please take any litter and glass items home with you.  Discarded glass can act like a magnifying glass and cause fires.  The risk is too great. DWFire Facebook Page
