Fire risk alert

With the exceptionally hot weather, many parts of Britain are at the maximum fire risk alert. Some Fire service are experiencing record numbers of wild fires this year up by nearly 500% compared with the equivalent periods last summer.

Not all of these fires were directly caused by arson or the carelessness of a specific human action in the vicinity, but some were, particularly the careless disposal of materials related to smoking or portable or "disposable" barbecue equipment, which people have been asked not to use.

Please take great care if you are in an area where wildfires are a danger.
