The school holidays are coming up and you may be looking to do lots of fun, exciting things.  However, please do not be tempted to start any fires.  Even if you think a fire is just a small one they can grow very, very quickly and you or your friends may get injured.  You might also damage property or kill wildlife.

Never make hoax calls either as this will take fire engines away from being able to help someone who is in real trouble – at a fire or in a road accident.

If you start any fires yourself they are called deliberate fires.  These are dangerous and we will tell the Police about them and they will investigate them.  If you make hoax calls we will know who you are and we will pass that on to the Police as well.

However, if you see a fire that is unattended please phone 999 or tell an adult. You will never get into trouble for being honest.

Have a safe and fun holiday.
