Following today’s blaze, the Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service has issued two warnings over makeshift fires and cigarettes, especially on moorland.<\/p>\n
“Dry conditions mean that even a small fire can quickly spread beyond its intended area, putting nearby gardens, property, wildlife and open spaces at risk,” one warning read.<\/p>\n
“If you’re clearing garden waste, please consider alternatives such as composting, taking it to the tip, or using your local garden waste collection service.”<\/p>\n
As a second alert read: “The current heatwave has significantly increased the risk of grass, woodland and moorland fires.<\/p>\n
“Dry vegetation can ignite easily, and something as small as a discarded cigarette can have devastating consequences for people, wildlife and the environment.<\/p>\n
If you smoke, please remember to fully extinguish cigarettes before disposing of them, use a suitable bin or ashtray – made of metal, glass or ceramic, never throw cigarette ends from a vehicle window and take extra care around dry grass, vegetation and open countryside.<\/p>\n
“A moment’s carelessness could start a fire that spreads quickly. Please help us keep each other safe”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following today’s blaze, the Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service has issued two warnings over makeshift fires and cigarettes,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1051117,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,393,148776,4884,10585,2465,1026,288408,16,15,288407],"class_list":["post-1051116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manchester","tag-britain","tag-england","tag-glossop","tag-great-britain","tag-hyde-and-longdendale","tag-manchester","tag-tameside","tag-tintwistle","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-woodhead-pass"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116815886292391399","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1051116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1051116"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1051116\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1051117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1051116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1051116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1051116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
