Government Alert about Wildfires

I'm just into Sussex between Surrey Hills and South Downs. I'm so sorry for the people who have been affected by fires. I believe disposable barbecues have been temporarily banned. A wise move.

Yes, just had it.

Yes just had one, made me jump! I'm in West Sussex.

Yes had one here too.

So did I . Nearly scare the living daylights out of me. Dig deep enough into your settings and you can switch the alerts off

Me too. My phone's under a pile of washing so I didn't connect the beeps with it...thought it was DH's laptop going a bit mad.

midgey it's for other places too who are in whatever zone of dryness - amber and above most probably

Yes, South Hampshire.

Yes[, me too. Good to know the system works, but not the reason for it

yes
we were warned by a local councillor though about 2 hours ago

it is so dry here why anyone would have a fag or bbq is beyond me

It’s says it’s for Wales! I don’t live in Wales……

Yes, it made me jump, too...

Just received the alert about three minutes ago.
