Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue have urged people to avoid starting bonfires as the COVID-19 lockdown continues.
Whilst Hertfordshire's Household Waste Recycling Centres are closed during the coronavirus pandemic, it is important not to burn your rubbish.
A spokesperson for Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said:
“We have been called to a number of incidents involving bonfires over the past fortnight.
“Not only can bonfires quickly get out of control and pose a risk to you, your family and your property but they can cause issues for people with respiratory illnesses, harm wildlife, pollute the atmosphere and cause nuisances for neighbours.
“We’re asking you to avoid lighting bonfires to help reduce the pressure on our firefighters.”
If you are going to light a bonfire, please follow Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue's safety advice.
