Disposable BBQs Spark Wildfires | UK News

Another grass fire erupted in Mitcham, fueled by a disposable barbecue and tackled by 60 firefighters — sparking fears that these flimsy grills could be the next big wildfire culprit. With over a thousand fires already this year — matching last year’s record — authorities are seriously considering banning them during summer heatwaves. The London Fire Brigade is warning the public: even a “cooling down” BBQ can smolder for hours, and careless cigarettes or barbecues in parks are major hazards. If you’re out enjoying the sun, think twice before lighting up that disposable grill. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
