Residents and visitors in Northumberland are being urged to avoid campfires and barbecues this weekend, with the risk of wildfires extremely high following a prolonged spell of dry weather.
Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service has said it is doing everything in its power to prevent wildfires from happening, but added that many outdoor blazes start from the likes of campfires.
The service has said tackling wildfires diverts resources, which can ultimately "cost lives".
