Residents in BCP and Dorset are advised to take precautions outdoors as rising temperatures increase the risk of heath and woodland fires. The Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service warns against barbecues and campfires in open areas, reminding people to properly extinguish cigarettes. In case of a fire, individuals should retreat to safety and call 999 with detailed location information. Bonfires at home are also discouraged, and barbecue coals must be soaked before disposal. Additionally, swimmers should be cautious of cold water shock, and drivers are urged to carry bottled water to prevent dehydration due to potential congestion.
