How to prevent outdoor fires
Our top seven tips
- Ensure cigarettes are completely out
- Do not throw cigarettes out of car windows onto grass verges or vegetation
- Put disposable barbeques on bricks, do not place directly on grass
- Do not leave glass bottles lying on the ground – the sun’s rays reflect through the glass and can start a fire
- When camping, do not leave campfire unattended and make sure it is completely out before you leave it
- Use barbeques on a hard, flat surface away from grass, shrubs or fencing
- Talk to your children about the dangers of starting fires outside.
