Firefighters and conservation groups in Surrey are calling for countryside visitors to take steps to prevent wildfires.

Surrey Fire & Rescue Service and the Surrey Nature Partnership warned green spaces including the county's "internationally significant heathlands" were at risk of fire.

The public can reduce the risk by avoiding barbecues in heathland, disposing of cigarettes safely, and binning or taking home litter, according to authorities.
