Following the incident, crews are reminding everyone to exercise extra caution in order to avoid additional field fires this season. Keep bonfires to a manageable size, well away from greenery and property, always supervise the burning, and avoid having one in extremely hot or windy weather. If you see a grass fire, get to a safe location and call 999.
