London Fire Brigade (LFB) have issued guidance on staying safe during this really hot weather. Its worth a read and gives guidance on how to safely use barbeques and being careful when discarding off cigarettes.
It doesn't take much to start a fire in a field or any areas of forestry in this heat and a simple mistake or act of carelessness can lead to a fire spiralling out of control with all the dry grass, trees, crops and woodland in general.
Just carelessly disposing of a glass bottle around combustible materials can lead to a fire by magnifying the ray from the sun.
Using disposable barbeques safely is very important as these can stay hot long after people believe they are out and if they are left unattended and used near grass, then they could start a fire.
