Bonfires

What starts off as a bonfire can sometimes get out of hand and lead to people and animals getting hurt. That’s why it’s important to follow advice from the Scottish SPCA and SFRS.

Remember - it’s an offence to light a fire in a public place to endanger a person or property or cause fear or annoyance.

When the Fire Service get called out to a deliberate fire, it means they can be delayed getting to other emergencies. That could make the difference between life or death.

Positive Action

Report any big build-up of rubbish or fly-tipping to your local authority or community fire station. This will help ensure it can be removed and prevent fires.
