Warning after grass wildfire in Greeba

Fire crews are repeating advice about the dangers of barbecues, camp stoves, campfires and discarded cigarettes after a grass fire in Greeba yesterday.

The incident happened just before 1.30pm and took 15 firefighters around two hours to put out fully.

The Fire and Rescue Service says grass fires can start easily in hot, dry weather and can spread extremely fast.

It's asking people to take extra care in the countryside to minimize the risks of wildfires starting.
