With the current prolonged dry weather, grass, shrubs and other vegetation can ignite very quickly, increasing the risk of fires spreading and causing serious damage to our parks, wildlife and surrounding areas.
Please help us keep everyone safe by not bringing BBQs, fire pits or any open flames into our parks. We also ask that parents/ guardians talk to their children about the consequences of setting fires deliberately.
Thank you for doing your part to protect our green spaces and ensure they can be enjoyed by everyone. 🌳💚
☀️ Today is going to be another hot day, and while most people will enjoy the weather responsibly, we're asking everyone to think twice before lighting fires outdoors.
During the first week of the summer holidays, deliberate outdoor fires more than doubled in Nottinghamshire compared to the same period last year. In hot, dry conditions, even a small fire can quickly spread and put people, wildlife and property at risk.
We ask that whatever you do, you do it safely, and that your children know the consequences of setting fires deliberately.
