Firefighters' further warning over garden fires

Firefighters are again urging people to be careful if they need to hold fires in their garden.

The fire service says it's attended several callouts to garden and waste fires in recent weeks and is reminding residents they must notify the Emergency Services Joint Control Room before they light one.

Teams add anyone doing so should always consider their neighbours as excess smoke could affect those who have respiratory issues.

Residents are being advised to use the Islands amenity sites which have re-opened to reduce the potential strain on emergency services at this time.
