DEFA issues warning following dry spell
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture has issued an urgent warning after a series of wildfires.
Members of the public are advised of a 'high risk' of blazes following recent incidents on scrublands, nature reserves and around the coast.
A ban on smoking, campfires, portable stoves and barbecues is being enforced around state-owned uplands, forests and glens.
Yellow warning signs are being put up around the Island.
Tim Graham from the Manx Wildlife Trust says wildfires present a multitude of dangers:
DoI to change rent-setting model for public sector housing
Candidates could need to declare interests to stand in 2026 General Election
Customs and Excise office to relocate
Douglas man convicted in Island's 'most complex child abuse image investigation'
