FIRE SAFETY FIRST DURING COVID-19 LOCKDOWN

From Spire FM News, 4th April.

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service have asked that you refrain from having any bonfires at all whilst the Coronavirus restrictions are in place.

It will help prevent creating unnecessary pressure for our vital emergency services.

A Salisbury Fire Engine. — SAFETY FIRST: At this challenging time bonfires and BBQ's risk adding pressure on Dorset & Wiltshire Fire service.

It's a similar message to last weekend's but more pressing now that Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue face additional pressures and challenges because of the virus outbreak.

Firefighters have had to attend an increasing number of call-outs to bonfires over the last two weeks.
