Mobile phone users in England and Wales have received an emergency alert, warning them not to light anything that could spark a fire.
The Government sent the alert on Friday evening, which began appearing on mobile devices from 7pm.
It warned people not to use barbecues, campfires, and fireworks, and recipients have also been urged to report fires immediately to 999.
The alert follows the outbreak of several major blazes, including a wildfire in Stourbridge, in the West Midlands, where 19 homes were completely destroyed.
