Firefighters in Nottinghamshire have dealt with nearly 350 grass fires so far this month - that's a 600% increase on July 2017.
Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said it believes most of these fires were set "deliberately".

Parents, teachers, coaches and other influential people are being asked to spread the message that fires are "simply not fun".
