WildFire Alert

 An EXTREME wildfire warning has been issued for the whole of Scotland for Friday, 26 September.

There is also a VERY HIGH warning in place for all of Scotland from tomorrow, Wednesday, 24 September until Thursday, 25 September.

SFRS Group Commander Serge Kabamba said: “We recognise temperatures are dropping across the country and people might not think that the risk is there, however the effects of this year’s spring drought are still visible across the landscape, with dry soils and browned vegetation increasing the risk of fire."

We ask that everyone enjoying the outdoors is extra cautious and thinks twice before using anything involving a naked flame.
