A spokesman for the service said: "July was our busiest month so far this year for emergencies.

"We attended an increased number of fires in the open, such as fields, forests and heathland.

"If you're exploring our beautiful county this weekend, help us reduce the risk of such fires by taking litter home with you, extinguishing smoking materials and consider taking a picnic not a BBQ.

"Thanks for your support and enjoy Norfolk this summer."
