With this hot weather making Bucks Fire and Rescue lives busier, the last thing they need is acts of arson and accidental fires.
This is what they faced on Tuesday, (9/8) as at 10.50pm they attended a grass fire on Elmhurst Road, in Aylesbury which they suspect was started by a reading book being set on fire.
Crews are treating it as arson as they found the burnt book after putting out the flames.
They also were called to a fire on the same day on Talbot Avenue in High Wycombe.
At 8.59pm, firefighters used water buckets to put out a fire caused by an unattended bonfire.
