Tell Fire Service before you start controlled burns

The Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service is reminding residents to notify them if conducting controlled fires.

Officers posted to social media to say they had recently attended a number of these, due to the Emergency Services Joint Control Room not being informed of burns taking place.

If you are planning a controlled burn remember to contact the Emergency Services Joint Control Room, (697327) ensure the burn is controlled and not likely to spread, have a form of extinguishing material and put thought into the location and smoke drift.
