Rejected petition Ban the sale of disposable Barbecues
Ban the sale of disposable Barbecues to reduce the number of wildfires in the UK.
I am a firefighter and have witnessed the damage that can be caused through reckless use of BBQs.
More details
Every summer our uk firefighters have to tackle the spread of wild fires caused largely by persons using disposable Barbecues. This puts an incredible strain on the uks firefighting resources which could lead to an increased response time to domestic or commercial building fires.
This past week has seen crews tackling wildfires in Darwen, Longridge and Rochdale. Fire Crews have worked tirelessly to ensure that moorland fires do not reach the scale of the Winter Hill fire of 2018.
