The county of Northumberland has been put under a yellow wildfire alert after three blazes were reported in the county just this week.
Northumberland Fire and Rescue has implored the public to enjoy the countryside this weekend but urged people to be careful and considerate across the county as there are "elevated wildfire conditions".
Earlier this week, a wildfire was extinguished in West Woodburn as well as one in Tarset near Greenhaugh. Crews remained at the scene all night to make sure everyone was kept safe.

In as tweet, the fire service said: "We are currently responding to a number of wildfires in Northumberland. The county is under a yellow wildfire alert meaning elevated wildfire conditions."
Rothbury Fire Station said: "Over the past two days the Rothbury crew were called out to work alongside colleagues from Bellingham, Hexham, Allendale, Pegswood, Alnwick and Haltwhistle as well as specialist wildfire officers from Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service to firstly tackle a large fell fire at Tarset near Bellingham and another on the moor above Rothbury at Debdon earlier today."
"We faced difficult conditions due to the tinder dry fells, lack of access for vehicles and very limited access to water. All crews worked closely for several hours on different flanks to extinguish the fire and protect the surrounding forestry land."
"PLEASE BE AWARE THAT OUR BEAUTIFUL AREA IS DANGEROUSLY DRY AND WILDFIRES CAN START AND SPREAD VERY EASILY."
