Disposable Barbecues Spark Wildfire Fears | Leeds News
Description
Disposable barbecues are under fire across England and Wales as firefighters, farmers, and Parliament push for a ban—warning that a single spark could ignite devastating wildfires in drought-stricken areas. With nearly half of England parched and no major rain expected until October, the risk is soaring. Farmers fear losing months of work and long-term soil damage, while meteorologists confirm drier-than-average conditions will persist through August. The clock is ticking: autumn rains may be the only hope for recovery—and until then, every spark counts.
