Fire crews have dealt with three grass and gorse fires today.
This morning, firefighters tackled a blaze on a railway embankment near Keristal in Santon which involved around 40 metres of gorse.
This afternoon, crews from Ramsey were called to a grass fire near Andreas airfield which saw flames across 30 square metres of grass.
And this evening, crews from Castletown dealt with another railway fire - this time near Balckboards.
Minister for Home Affairs Juan Watterson has been warning of the dangers as the Island dries out during the current heatwave:
