East Dorset Police, in collaboration with local agencies, are conducting patrols in heathlands and forests due to heightened wildfire risks. The public is advised against blocking emergency access gates and to adhere to fire safety guidance. Outdoor fires, including bonfires, should be avoided as they may escalate. In case of a fire, individuals should call 999, move to safety, and identify the fire’s location using tools like What3Words. Suspicious activities can be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers. Authorities emphasize that public vigilance is crucial in preventing wildfires, urging community involvement to make a difference.
