Anguilla is experiencing one of its driest periods in recent years with rainfall at the barest level across the island.

As a result, grassfires are becoming a challenge for the Anguilla Fire and Rescue Services, as well as various community-minded owners of small water delivery trucks who have undertaken to assist the Fire and Rescue Officers in controlling the grass and bushfires.
The latest fires were in The Quarter and Cauls Pond areas over the past weekend.
The Cauls Pond area saw the larger conflagration due to the size of the land mass. No houses were in immediate danger in either of the areas; but all persons on the island are being urged to exercise caution against further grass and bushfires and high winds fanning the flames.
