TRANSLATION:
The fire service in Cornwall says a spate of recent moorland and heath fires are putting "unnecessary strain on already stretched resources".
Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service said it had received an increased number of calls about domestic burning, wildfires and "nuisance burning".
It comes after a series of large heath and moorland fires across Bodmin Moor last weekend.
A warning has also been issued to landowners, to think of the impacts to the environment and wildlife before burning, especially with the recent dry weather.
Residents have been urged to think carefully, remain vigilant and to report suspicious activity to the police.
Devon and Cornwall Police said the cause of the fires was not currently known.

TRANSLATION
The refusal to grant a licence for a seaweed farm off the north Cornwall coast is being hailed by the local MP as a "landmark win".
Applicants for the scheme at at Port Quinn claimed there would be positive benefits to the environment and the local economy. However, campaigners strongly disagreed, saying they had concerns over the consultation process.
The Marine Management Organisation rejected the plans last week, saying there were unacceptable risks to users of the sea, and insufficient evidence there would not be significant impact on the landscape, seascape and environment.
Barnaby Kay, from the Two Bays Trust, a charity that focuses on delivering coastal conservation and mental health and wellbeing support, said: "This area is stunningly beautiful. It's too beautiful to put 3,000 buoys in.
Ben Maguire MP, member of parliament for North Cornwall, said on X that it was a landmark win for the community.
Campaigners said they were hoping they to use the decision to help fight proposals for other proposed seaweed farms, including one in Port Isaac in Cornwall and one in Combe Martin in Devon.

A Royal Air Force veteran from Cornwall has died aged 102, her family has said.
Kate Orchard from Camborne joined the Women's Auxiliary Corps in India in 1942 and worked alongside both the RAF and the Indian Air Force on 24-hour watches, plotting aircraft targets and sending signals to the air warning systems.
In April 2022, she took to the skies in a glider aged 99 to raise money for Help for Heroes.
Later that year she was selling poppies at a supermarket in Camborne, saying she would do it "any time".
Her son Bentley confirmed Mrs Orchard died on Friday at Beeches Care 蜜芽传媒 in Hayle.
