CURRACLOE BEACH
Wexford Fire Service is asking the public to be vigilant during the ‘heatwave’ weather and warns people not to light fires, either intentionally or accidentally, due to the extremely dry weather.
People are asked people not to light barbecues outside of designated areas and to always take care when disposing of cigarettes because of the tinder dry nature of vegetation across the county.
If anyone notices smoke they should immediately contact the emergency services on 999 or 112.
