Be wildfire aware. Advice on how you can prevent wildfires

Fire down below over the border. The Devon and Somerset Fire Service were out on Sunday fighting fires near Porlock, we chatted to a crew who helped get the one down below under control as they were returning to their station at Combe Martin.

There have been a few large #wildfires on #dartmoor and Exmoor in the past couple of weeks, you can see in these pictures how dry the grassland is so #bewildfireaware, think of the wonderful environment, nesting birds and wildlife before firing up the BBQ.

  • Take your litter home.
  • Don't throw cigarette ends on the ground or out of car windows.
  • Glass in direct sunlight can cause fires - ensure there is none lying around.
  • Don’t have campfires or barbecues in the countryside. Only have them in safe designated areas.
