‘Extreme’ wildfire warning for Badenoch, Strathspey and beyond
As the smoke dies down once more on Dava Moor, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is warning that the big heat will be on us all tomorrow.
“An extreme wildfire warning is in place across Scotland from Friday, 11 July, until Monday, 14 July,” the service has posted.
”We want you to enjoy Scotland’s great outdoors in the sunshine, but we have a few tips to help keep everyone safe:
“Avoid BBQs and campfires
Never discard cigarettes or litter
Stick to marked paths and avoid dry vegetation
Call 999 if you spot signs of fire
Fires can ignite quickly and spread fast during this period, so we urge you to use caution and avoid using any items involving a naked flame to help reduce the risk of wildfires.”
