Rejected petition Protect sensitive habitats from sources of fire including disposable BBQ's

Our natural habitats are being burnt to destruction by fires caused by carelessness and negligence from disposable BBQ's and other sources. The government needs to introduce special protection for our at risk areas and specific controls for the use of disposable BBQ's.

More details

An increase in natural wildfires combined with fires caused by human carelessness suggests we need to do more to protect our countryside from fire. In May 2020 significant wildfires in the UK demonstrated the habitat damage that can be caused and the risk to life. With some potentially caused by disposable BBQ's we need further measures to protect our environment. Control of disposable BBQ's as well as introduction of designations and controls for at risk areas would be a start.
