GLOUCESTERSHIRE Fire and Rescue Service reminded farmers to be vigilant to the risks of wildfires, during a time of hot and dry weather.

Through a helpful video guide, the Fire Service recommended following the up-to-date guidance from the NFU, and posed easy questions which could help prevent outbreaks.

A Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “During hot, dry weather, it's important for farmers to stay vigilant to the risk of wildfire to minimise risk to land and livelihoods.”

The service explained in the video that preparation can help save lives, livestock and livelihood.

Further wildfire advice can be found via the Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service website.
