Wildfire risk
I have just seen this Government information notice on Nextdoor.
Wildfire risk – share to help protect people and places. This is what a wildfire looks like.
Wildfires put people in danger and can devastate natural habitats.
With warm weather expected in parts of the country this week, the risk is increased.
You can reduce the risk through a few simple actions:
-Don’t light fires in the countryside
-Only have BBQs where signs allow, or better still – pack a picnic
-Take rubbish home with you
If you see a fire unattended in the countryside, note its location, get to a safe space and dial 999.
Take care this weekend by following the Countryside Code: https://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/en_GB/countrysidecode/?utm_campaign=coco_22&utm_medium=NE_organic&utm_source=Nextdoor.
There was a video of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service tackling a wildfire in Yateley, Hampshire (April 2022) that I am unable to share here, but this is similar.
