Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service is asking the public to avoid carrying out controlled burns wherever possible due to the current hot and dry conditions.

The increased risk of fire spread, combined with high demand on our service, means even controlled burns can quickly become difficult to manage.

By postponing controlled burns until conditions improve, the public can help reduce the risk of wildfires and keep fire crews available for emergencies. We thank everyone for their support and cooperation.
