The current spell of hot, dry weather has left grass, woodland and heathland exceptionally dry, meaning fires can start and spread very quickly.
Please help protect our local countryside by taking extra care:
- Do not light disposable barbecues or campfires in open spaces.
- Dispose of cigarettes safely and never throw them from a vehicle.
- Avoid using fireworks or other items that could create sparks in dry areas.
- Take all litter home with you, especially glass bottles, which can increase the risk of fire.
- If you see a fire, move to a safe place and call 999 immediately.
Thank you for helping to keep East Horsley and the surrounding countryside safe.
