Embankment fires tackled by fire crews

Fire crews have had to emphasise their warning about fires in dry weather after responding to an incident last week.

Fire crews from Douglas and Castletown were called to two embankment fires on the afternoon of Thursday, June 7.

They say small fires can spread quickly in dry conditions and that BBQ's should be cooled before being disposed of.

The fire service took to social media again to reiterate the message.
