Help reduce wildfires and protect Scotland
We decided to take the BBQ's out of our campervans.
Follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code’s advice and never start a fire when a wildfire danger assessment is in place and during prolonged dry periods in areas such as forests, woods, farmland or peaty ground.
Don’t have BBQs, on any flammable surface during very dry and prolonged weather. Instead have them within safe designated BBQ areas.
Don’t have campfires or any outdoor fire when a wildfire danger assessment is in place or during prolonged dry periods.
Always fully extinguish cigarettes and dispose of them responsibly.
Don’t leave litter, take it home with you and leave no trace. Glass in direct sunlight can cause a fire. Ensure none is lying around.
Where possible use a stove rather than an open fire.
If you do light a fire, keep it small, controlled and supervised
Make sure the fire has been fully extinguished and remove all traces of an open fire before you leave the area.
