A wildfire warning has been issued amid concerns they “pose a risk” to Northern Ireland’s drinking water supply.
With the wind picking up today and the recent dry conditions, an Amber wildfire alert has been issued across Dorset. This alert means that, should a wildfire be experienced, it could spread quickly and easily due to the dry and windy conditions. As seen with the major incident at Wareham Forest last year, wildfires take a great deal of resources and time to bring under control, and cause devastation to heath, woodland and wildlife. Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service Group Manager Tim Gray said: “In light of the Amber wildfire alert, we are asking for the public’s help by not having campfires or using disposable barbecues in our forests and heathlands.
