The campaign warns that if illegal fires are spotted they will be put out immediately by the local fire and rescue services. Waste from bonfires can be taken to one of SITA’s sites where it will be sorted along their green materials.

The campaign also warned residents that illegal fires are a big risk to nearby houses and cars and should not be started, accidents can be avoided by attending an organized event.
