Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service reported 277 wildfire incidents during July, making it the second busiest month for such blazes in the past five years. With a heatwave forecast and no rain expected in the coming days, the fire service is urging the public to remain cautious and continue following safety advice. If you spot a fire in the countryside, move to safety and call 999 immediately, providing location details via What3Words if possible. Avoid setting off flares, lighting campfires, or using barbecues at the beach as these could ignite nearby vegetation. Suspicious fire-setting should be reported to police by calling 999, or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
