A 'VERY HIGH' wildfire warning has been issued for Fife by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
The caution, covering eastern Scotland, will be in place from tomorrow (Thursday) until Monday.
It comes as temperatures have surged in the UK in the past week, although cooler than it has been in England meteorologists predict Fife will see a high of 22 degrees tomorrow.
SFRS says that wildfires can devastate homes, landscapes and wildlife, making it essential for the public to exercise extreme caution during these conditions.
The authority's head of prevention, Kenny Barbour, said: “Those in affected areas should avoid lighting outdoor fires and remain aware that even a single spark can quickly escalate, causing widespread damage.
“Taking simple precautions can help prevent devastating damage. Remember, there’s no such thing as a harmless fire."
He added: “Share wildfire warnings with your family, friends and visitors. And if anyone spots an outdoor fire, please report it immediately by calling 999, providing your location, and any other relevant information so we can respond quickly.”
