Behind every emergency response is a Fire Control team.

As firefighters continue to respond to wildfires and other incidents across the country, Fire Control teams have been working around the clock, dealing with thousands of calls and coordinating resources in extremely challenging conditions.

Their professionalism, resilience and calm decision-making help ensure help reaches those who need it most.

Phil Garrigan, NFCC Chair, said, "We also recognise the extraordinary efforts of firefighters, control teams and support staff who continue to work around the clock in extremely challenging conditions to protect life, property and the environment."

🔥 With hot, dry weather continuing, the risk of grass and wildfire incidents remains high.

Decisions about public open spaces, parks and events are made by the relevant local authority or event organiser, so please check with them directly for any updates or restrictions.

You can help prevent fires by:
✅ Avoiding barbecues and outdoor fires
✅ Reporting signs of fire immediately by calling 999

‼ Don't be fooled by the recent rain in the UK.

The ground is still extremely dry and flammable so please continue to listen to both the local and national guidance.

Help us keep the community and our outdoor spaces safe!
