Please be extra careful with cigarettes, candles and barbecues this weekend. Nature is struggling enough with the heat without the added tragedy and dangers of wild fires. 🔥
There is a severe risk of wildfires in #London currently so we're asking Londoners to take extra care to prevent fires starting accidentally. We're also urging people to avoid cooling off in rivers & lakes as these come with hidden dangers & other risks. london-fire.gov.uk/news/2025-news…
