RESIDENTS have been warned about starting fires at beach dunes after East Lothian Countryside Rangers discovered the remains of a fire in the dunes of Whitesands beach, near Dunbar.
The rangers took to Facebook to share the images of the remains of the fire, which they concluded was likely caused by fireworks.
The post said: “We were sad to discover the remains of a fire in the dunes at Whitesands, which appears to have been started by a firework.
“Dunes are highly diverse environments, home to a variety of plants and insects, as well as ground nesting birds in the spring/summer.
“It just shows that even in November, there is still a high risk of fire, a reminder to respect, protect and enjoy.”
