⚠️ A very high wildfire warning is currently in place across many parts of Scotland until Monday.

Even the smallest spark can quickly become a devastating wildfire, putting people, wildlife, habitats and historic landscapes at risk. Most wildfires are caused by human activity, which means they’re also preventable.

If you’re heading outdoors this weekend:
• Don’t light campfires or disposable BBQs
• Never discard ci******es or matches on the ground
• Take all litter home with you, especially glass bottles, which can magnify the sun’s rays

We all have a part to play in protecting the places we love. There really is no such thing as a harmless fire.
