The NIFRS has already warned the public to be aware of the increased risk of wildfires this weekend.
The warning came after a week in which firefighters dealt with 67 wildfires, while also responding to 238 other emergency incidents across Northern Ireland.
With the warm and sunny weather set to continue over the weekend in Northern Ireland and temperatures of 18 degrees forecast for Sunday, Assistant Chief Fire & Rescue Officer Aidan Jennings said conditions were expected to be ripe for wildfires to spread quickly.
“We are acutely aware that this is early in the year for wildfires to take hold meaning we are potentially facing a sustained period of responding to wildfires, should the good weather continue,” he said.
Mr Jennings added: “We have detailed plans in place to respond to wildfire incidents but there’s no doubt it puts an added pressure on our service and our partner agencies. That’s why it’s so crucial that the public do their part.
“If you’re visiting the countryside this weekend please be extremely careful with anything that might start a fire including matches, lighters and barbeques.
“Remember, deliberately setting a wildfire is a criminal offence, can be devastating to the environment and ultimately puts people’s lives at risk.”
