Your safety
Do not touch any military debris, it may be dangerous. Please note the location and inform a Training Safety Officer (TSO) or police.
Warning signals, red flags by day and red lamps by night, indicate that live firing is taking place within the range boundaries, which are marked by red and white poles. When warning signals are displayed do not cross the range boundary.
If the warning signals are not hoisted by either:
- 9am (April to September)
- 10am (October to March)
No live firing will take place that day and any bangs you hear will be blank cartridges or fireworks.
Learn more about accessing MOD training areas safely.
Usual firing timings
- day firing: between sunrise and sunset
- night firing: between sunset and sunrise
Flags are lowered as soon as live firing ceases.
Firing locations
The Dartmoor training area boundaries can be found on Dartmoor maps.
