Increased Fire Risk – Please Take Extra Care
The States of Alderney is asking all residents and visitors to exercise extreme caution due to the current dry conditions across the island.
With prolonged dry weather, vegetation is highly susceptible to fire. Even a small spark can quickly develop into a serious incident, particularly where there is a light breeze that can spread flames rapidly.
Across the UK, France and Spain, significant wildfires have highlighted how quickly fires can escalate and the devastating impact they can have on communities and the environment.
The States of Alderney strongly advises against lighting any unnecessary open fires and live fire barbecues. Anyone choosing to use a barbecue should do so with the utmost care, ensuring it is attended at all times, positioned well away from dry grass, hedges and other combustible materials, and fully extinguished after use and disposed of safely.
Everyone is also asked to help reduce the risk of accidental fires by:
👉 Avoiding the lighting of open fires.
👉 Taking extra care when using barbecues and outdoor cooking equipment.
👉 Never discarding cigarettes or matches on the ground.
👉 Removing bottles, broken glass and other litter from open spaces, as glass can contribute to fire risk in dry conditions.
As a small island, Alderney has limited emergency resources. A significant fire could place considerable pressure on our emergency services and pose a serious risk to people, property, wildlife and the island's natural environment.
The States of Alderney thanks everyone for their cooperation and asks the community to remain vigilant during this period of heightened fire risk. By taking simple precautions, we can all help protect our island and reduce the likelihood of a potentially devastating fire.

Look out for the Floating Car at the Torteval Scarecrow Festival today.
The car is set to sail to Herm and Sark later this year to raise funds for the Flying Christine marine ambulance.
We’d love to see your ‘head in the hole’ photos too.
