🔥 With the current hot, dry and windy weather, we are reminding residents not to light fires or use disposable barbecues on grass or in open spaces.
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service crews were called to a fire in the open near Denmark Avenue in Woodley on Tuesday 14 July. During this dry and windy weather, it only takes a small spark to ignite dry grass and fires can spread quickly.
Please help us reduce the risk of fires:
❌ Do not start fires or burn waste
❌ Do not use disposable barbecues on grass or open land
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service’s 'Be Weather Aware' page has advice and information on wildfires and BBQ safety:

Please continue to take care and help prevent fires during this period of dry weather.
