Grass fire warning ahead of warm weekend

With a sunny weekend ahead, the fire service is warning the public about grass fires.

It comes as vegetation across the Island is already dry - if you see grass smouldering, you're asked to call 999 to report it immediately.

Grass fires can get out of hand very quickly, cause extensive damage and even put lives at risk.

Firefighters have given tips on how to prevent such incidents starting such as safely disposing of bbqs, not leaving them unattended and not dropping cigarettes.
