🔥 Fire Safety Warning for Farmland 🔥

With the weather being hot, dry, and windy, the risk of accidental fires on farmland is extremely high. A single spark can destroy crops, harm wildlife, damage property, and put lives at risk.

Please take extra care when walking on the footpaths:

Avoid lighting bonfires, BBQs, or any open flames near fields.

Don’t discard cigarettes—embers can smoulder and ignite dry grass.

Keep vehicles off dry stubble; hot exhausts can start fires.

Report any smoke or fire immediately so it can be dealt with before it spreads.

This weather means fires spread fast. A moment of carelessness can cause devastation across the countryside. Let’s all do our part to protect farmland, livestock, and rural communities.
