North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue have asked locals not to have BBQ's or campfires in the countryside this weekend.
Since lockdown restrictions were eased on Monday and travelling further afield is allowed, the Easter weekend is expected to be a busy time for countryside walks.
This raises concerns that walkers may use disposable BBQs and campfires to enjoy the outdoors.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said:
In 2018, a fire caused by a disposable BBQ at Brimham Rocks led to 8,700 square metres of damage to moorland.
