Wildfire risk warning after large hedgerow blaze

Authorities in Cornwall have issued urgent wildfire warnings following a significant blaze that destroyed hedgerows, trees, grassland, and an electricity pylon. Due to the heightened risk to moors and forests, the public is strictly advised never to light fires or barbecues within woodlands. These measures aim to prevent further environmental damage as crews manage the aftermath of the recent fire, emphasising the critical need for caution during high-risk periods in these natural areas.
