Two appliances and a whole time officer are in attendance to reports of a large fire in a field. On arrival the crews found three large unattended bonfires.

If you are planning a large bonfire in Cornwall, inform the Fire and Rescue Service before you start by calling our Critical Control Centre on 0203 162 2240.
Tell the Critical Control Operator:
• Your location.
• Time you intend to start burning.
• Confirm when you have finished burning.

This helps us avoid sending fire engines to false alarms when they could be responding to a real emergency.
