There's an extreme fire risk at the moment with prolonged dry weather.
Laois Fire Service is urging people not to light fires or have barbecues on forest land, in bogs, or other high risk areas.
A red forest fire warning is in place for the weekend, which means there's an extreme fire risk, with easy ignition and rapid spread.
Chief Fire Officer at Laois Fire and Rescue Service, Declan Power, says a quarter of the 267 emergency incidents they've attended so far this year have been outdoor fires:
