WILDFIRE RISK – PLEASE TAKE CARE
With dry conditions increasing the risk of wildfires, please take extra care when using our public rights of way.
• Stay on designated paths and follow local warnings.
• Do not light fires or use disposable BBQs.
• Take all rubbish home, including glass.
• Never drop ci******es or matches.
• Keep dogs under control and be mindful of livestock and wildlife.
• Please stay away from straw bales and do not climb on, move or damage them.
🚨 If you see smoke or a fire, move to a safe place and call 999. Do not attempt to tackle it yourself.
Parents & carers: Please talk to children and young people about the serious consequence of deliberately starting fires.
Setting fire to a straw bale or dry vegetation can have serious and potentially life-changing consequences.
Wildfires can spread incredibly quickly across dry grass, fields and woodland. What may seem like a harmless prank can quickly become a major emergency.
Your care and consideration can help protect our countryside, wildlife, local residents and emergency services.
Thank you for taking care.
