π₯ It only takes one spark π₯
π« NO FIRES. NO BBQs π«
On Friday, our crew attended Loch Morlich with Police Scotland and in the early hours of this morning, we were called back again to extinguish several campfires along the beach and in Glenmore Forest Park.
π² The peat soil in this area burns deep. Even a small campfire can smoulder underground for days, spreading unseen and triggering a devastating wildfire.
π Responding to these avoidable fires also pulls our crew away from Aviemore and the A9, where we could be needed urgently for life-threatening emergencies.
That is why we are pleading with the public to adhere to local restrictions and signage.
π A huge thank you to our followers for acting responsibly and to the public who report these fires to us. We know we might sound like a broken record, but with the extreme wildfire risk right now, we really need your help.
πPlease share this post with any outdoor tourism groups and pages youβre part of.
Letβs keep working together to keep the Cairngorms safe.
