As the soaring temperatures continue to rise West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service are asking people to stay vigilant when you’re out enjoying the countryside.

The risk of wildfires is increased at this time of year, and people are being urged to avoid any activities which could trigger them.

The advice is to properly dispose of cigarettes and to only have fires or barbecues in designated safe areas, while disposable barbecues should be avoided altogether.
