Please take extra care, says fire service
'Please keep safe' is the message from the Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service, after an emergency call-out yesterday evening.
Fire crews in the north of the Island were informed of a gorse fire at Maughold Head just before 7pm, which it later turned out was caused by a disposable barbecue.
Staff from Ramsey station arrived at the scene to find a spreading fire covering roughly 50 square metres of gorse and headland, which it took them just over an hour to put out and damp down.
With today's forecast for even better weather, you're asked to take extra care when enjoying the Manx countryside, especially if you intend to use any type of barbecue or open fire.
