Hot weather heightening wildfire risks, says DEFA

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is warning of the risks of wildfires in the hills, forests and glens.

On Facebook, DEFA says after an extended period of dry and warm weather, there's still little to no rainfall forecast for the next week.

That means a significantly higher risk of wildfires where vegetation has dried out.

It's asking people to take extra care and not do anything that might increase the risk still further.
