Fire crews have issued a warning after a small fire appears to have been started by magnified sunlight.
The magnifying focuses heat onto nearby materials, causing them to catch fire.
The Fire Service warned: “It doesn’t take much for this to happen, items like glass, mirrors, or even clear bottles can sometimes act like a magnifying lens in direct sunlight.
“Thankfully this incident was quickly brought under control.
“As we move into sunnier days, it’s a good idea to keep reflective or glass items away from windowsills and flammable materials, and to be mindful of how sunlight can concentrate heat.
“A small change can prevent a big problem. Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine!”
