On Monday (11 July), fire crews were called to a grass fire at Caldecotte Lake.
The Parks Trust is reminding residents that BBQs are not permitted at parks in Milton Keynes, following a grass fire earlier this week.
Two fire engines and crew from West Ashland's Blue Light Hub were called to a grass fire by the side of Caldecotte Lake at around 6pm on Monday.
Back in June, The Parks Trust banned BBQs from Milton Keynes parks due to increasing risks. It came in a statement from The Parks Trust on social media.
A spokesperson wrote: "We have taken the decision not to allow BBQs in any of our parks from 1st June 2022 due to the increasing risks to public safety and the environment.
"Disposable BBQs are a dangerous fire risk and over recent years members of our team have had to put out numerous bin fires and deal with fire damage because of discarded or uncontrolled BBQs.
"Recently, large groups have been gathering in and misusing BBQ areas in the parks and the associated litter and mess that this has created has put increasing pressures on our team and resources."
