If you're planning a bonfire in Cornwall, inform Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service before you start.

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

Call us on 0203 162 2240 and tell the Critical Control Operator:

- Your location.
- Tell the operator if the burn is on domestic or commercial property.
- Time you intend to start burning.
- Confirm when you have finished burning.

With controlled burns, it is illegal to leave a fire unattended or to have too few people to control it. Always ensure a fire is completely out before you leave it and check next day to ensure it has not reignited.
