⚠️ WILDFIRE WARNING – PLEASE TAKE CARE
You should have just received an Emergency Alert from the UK Government warning of a very high risk of wildfires.
Please take this warning seriously across our parks and green spaces.
The Government is asking everyone to avoid any activity which could start a fire, including disposable barbecues, firepits, garden incinerators and fireworks.
With the ground exceptionally dry, even a small flame can spread rapidly and put homes, businesses, wildlife and, most importantly, lives at risk.
Please be particularly careful if you are out enjoying our countryside and green spaces this weekend. Do not light fires or disposable barbecues and please dispose of ci******es safely.
If you see a fire, move to a safe place and call 999 immediately.
Stay safe.🌳🍀
