Hot weather means more wildfire risk, says DEFA

Wildfire warnings have been put up across government land on the Island as hot weather brings increased risks.

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture says it's put up notices as weather forecasts predict a hot, dry week.

On Facebook, it says people should continue enjoying and exploring hills, forests, glens and the wider Manx countryside.

But it's also asking people to be responsible and not light barbeques, camp stoves or fires, and to dispose of cigarettes properly.
