Last year many homes were evacuated within the community of Daviot, near Inverness, as wildfire threatened property and lives. If you live or work in an area at risk of wildfires, an escape plan is a must. Guidance can be found ➡️ow.ly/JB0y50QToIz #WildfirePrevention

Do not smoke, use naked flames or get near to anything which may cause a fire whilst wearing clothing or a bandage that has been in contact with emollient skin creams. More info: rb.gy/8fb78 Get the leaflet: rb.gy/exqviq

A great example of why we recommend closing internal doors before you head to bed. Closed doors can help reduce the spread of fire and smoke, keeping your escape route free. Get our night time checklist here: rb.gy/8fe79a
