The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service are warning the public not to discard cigarette ends or anything else which could cause a fire.
Although wet weather is forecast, fire chiefs say the advice not to throw away anything which could cause an outbreak stands for all seasons.
In a typical incident on Thursday night, fire fighters from Annan dealt with a fire among burning rubbish on Stapleton Road, Annan.
A Fire Service spokeswoman said: “Recent weather conditions have contributed to a very busy period for us in recent days.”
