West Midlands Police are assisting West Midlands Fire Service who have Eight fire crews are tackling a large grassland fire. Emergency services were called to reports of a fire at Barr Beacon in Great Barr earlier today (Sunday 2 August). Beacon Road has been closed in both directions from B4151 Beacon Hill to Bridle Lane. West Midlands Fire Service is urging people to keep windows and doors closed and to avoid the area where possible.
Please don’t have BBQs or campfires in the countryside, or on any grassland during very dry weather. If you’re a smoker, please take extreme care with how you put out your cigarettes and dispose of them. Don’t leave litter, and pick it up if you see it. Don’t leave it to someone else. Discarded litter, in particular glass bottles, pose a fire risk when the sun’s rays are magnified through it. Avoid having bonfires during dry spells. | ||
