🚨Your Vape🚨
🚨Your Responsibility🚨

Being smart about your v**e starts with knowing the facts – and understanding how to keep yourself and others safe.

You should:
✅ Unplug your v**e once it’s fully charged
✅Recycle it safely at a designated recycle point near you: a supermarket, v**e shop or council site.
🚫 Keep it away from extreme heat or freezing cold temperatures

If you don’t, you could cause your v**e to overheat, leak, or even start a fire.

Changing these small habits can make a big difference.

A very high wildfire warning is in place for Eastern Highlands, Eastern and Southern Scotland from today (Wednesday, 12 August) until Thursday, 13 August.

Everyone should avoid lighting outdoor fires or barbecues. A single spark can cause significant damage, and there is no such thing as a harmless fire.

You can help prevent the risk of wildfires by sharing this post with your family, friends, and any visitors or tourists.

If you see an outdoor fire, call 999 immediately. Give the location and any other relevant information so we can respond quickly.

It’s Test It Tuesday! Making sure you have working smoke & heat alarms could save your life. Test them weekly to make sure if fire does break out everyone in your home has time to get out safely.

A fire in a caravan or mobile home can spread much more quickly than it would in a house or flat. Take extra care and think about fire safety when you are away from home.

🚨 Wildfire update [Posted 4.30pm on Monday, 27 July]

Progress has been made in tackling the Cairngorms wildfire as aggressive firefighting operations continue today, Monday, 27 July.

It is estimated that the fire has affected an area of around 25 square kilometres, following an aerial assessment.

Improved weather conditions and a targeted effort to tackle the wildfire in key areas has resulted in a reduction in visible flames, however smouldering areas and burning spots in the ground remain.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service will maintain a significant presence in the area until the incident is brought to a safe conclusion.

Firefighting is ongoing alongside partners and heavy machinery in the North and West of the incident, supported by helicopter waterbombing.

Around 70 firefighters remain on scene, with nine fire appliances, specialist wildfire resources and Wildfire Tactical Advisors.

Members of the public, walkers, and visitors are urged to continue to avoid the affected areas within the Cairngorms National Park. The area remains unsafe due to active firefighting operations.
