⚠️We are strongly advising you not to light bonfires in this dry weather. The grass is so dry that the fire can easily spread far beyond where you intend it to burn, and stray embers could quickly turn your whole garden into flames. Read more: hertfordshire.gov.uk/about-the-coun…

At the beginning of June, dry weather caused a fire in Watford to spread out of control, seriously damaging 3 houses and 12 gardens. We need your help to stop these fires starting during the #heatwave. Read our advice on bonfires and BBQs here: hertfordshire.gov.uk/about-the-coun…

Open water looks tempting in this weather, but you never know what dangers lie beneath the surface of rivers and lakes. It's better to wait for swimming pools to re-open if you're desperate to take a dip. Read more of our water safety advice: hertfordshire.gov.uk/about-the-coun…

Avoid fires and carbon monoxide poisoning on your #boat. Steer clear of dangerous behaviour boatsafetyscheme.org/stay-safe/carb… Don't use a BBQ on board. Please RT @BSS_BoatSafety National Fire Chiefs Council
