The recent fire at Grinshill provides an example of just how severe such fires can become in a short space of time. The pictures taken at the scene were shocking and looked more like an Australian or Californian fire than an incident in Shropshire.

The weather is extremely hot and the ground has dried out this significantly increases the risk of fires. You should avoid bonfires and be extremely careful with barbecues and discarded cigarettes.
