Cornwall Fire Service advises against controlled burns due to dry conditions
Public urged to help prevent wildfires and ease pressure on fire crews
In light of the current hot and dry conditions, Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service is advising the public to refrain from carrying out controlled burns.
The elevated risk of fire spread in tandem with high demand on emergency services has made even controlled burns a potential hazard.
Efforts to Prevent Wildfires
With the potential for controlled burns to become unmanageable, postponing such actions is encouraged.
By waiting for an improvement in weather conditions, the community can contribute significantly to reducing the risk of wildfires.
This proactive measure aids in keeping fire crews available for genuine emergencies.
Public Cooperation and Support
Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service thanks residents for their understanding and cooperation during this period.
Safeguarding resources ensures crews can respond promptly to necessary calls for assistance.
The fire service appreciates the collective effort against preventable fire risks and looks forward to improved conditions.
