- The government will look at banning disposable barbecues as wildfires continue to rage across the UK, Andy Burnham has said.
- Disposable barbecues have been the cause of a number of serious fires over the last few years, but campaigners were critical of the prime minister’s failure to link those fires more broadly to the climate crisis.
- In July this year, firefighters called to Cannock Chase found an area the size of a football field blazing in the summer heat.
