Blaze Tackled as Smokers Urged to Stub Out Properly
Firefighters Douse Blaze Promptly
One fire engine rushed to the scene, where firefighters quickly tackled the flames with a hose reel jet. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
Discarded Cigarette Sparks Fire
The blaze is believed to have started from a discarded cigarette, sparking fears as it’s peak season for woodland, grass, and crop fires across the county.
Public Urged to Act
Authorities warn everyone to do their bit. Dispose of smoking materials responsibly—make sure cigarettes are fully stubbed out and cooled before chucking them in bins. Even better, carry a portable ashtray when out and about.
