As warm weather draws people outdoors, Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue is urging residents to take extra care with barbecues. The warning comes as high temperatures and dry conditions increase the risk of fires starting and spreading rapidly.
The service advises people to avoid placing barbecues on dry grass or uneven ground and always to use a flat, fireproof surface, especially when using disposable items. They’re also reminding the public not to leave BBQs unattended and to ensure all coals are fully cooled before disposing of them.
The advice aims to prevent accidental fires during what’s expected to be one of the hottest spells of the season.
