Please take extra care when out in the Countryside. Do not discard ci******es or Glass Bottles & do not light Camp Fires . The undergrowth is extremely dry & Fires can spread very quickly.
Even Fires that appear out can continue burning under the ground & re-ignite on the surface days after.
If you see signs of fire or smoke or burnt areas of undergrowth that look extinguished , please report it to the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service as soon as possible , to protect our Countryside & Woodland & Wild Life from Fire.

This car is parked on zig zag warning lines outside coldstream Fire Station this hampers us responding to calls as it doesn't leave much room for us to get out. These lines are faint but are there for a reason please refrain from parking on them.
