Some good advice here from Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service
With the forecast set for hot and dry conditions across Northumberland, the risk of wildfires is much higher.
If youโre heading outdoors to enjoy the sunshine ๐ณ
๐ Pack a picnic - not a BBQ.
Disposable barbecues and campfires can quickly get out of control in dry grass and countryside. What might seem harmless can spark a fire that spreads in seconds.
๐ซ Avoid BBQs and campfires
๐ฅ Heat can linger long after youโve left
๐ฌ๏ธ Dry ground + wind = rapid fire spread
๐พ Fires can devastate wildlife and habitats
โ
Stay safe this summer:
๐ฅช Bring a picnic to enjoy
๐ฎ Take litter home โ especially glass
๐ถ Stick to designated paths
๐จ Call 999 immediately if you spot a fire
Letโs all do our bit to protect Northumberland this summer ๐
