@MarkyateFire attended a deliberately set small fire in some woods in Markyate. The crew quickly and safely extinguished the fire before it could spread.

⚠️We are strongly advising you not to light bonfires in this dry weather.
The grass is so dry that the fire can easily spread far beyond where you intend it to burn, and stray embers could quickly turn your whole garden into flames.

Open water looks tempting in this weather, but you never know what dangers lie beneath the surface of rivers and lakes.
It's better to wait for swimming pools to re-open if you're desperate to take a dip.
