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.
