Dan Moss, area manager for Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue, has called for heightened vigilance during periods of hot, dry weather due to the fire risk posed by disposable barbecues. He described them as a ‘significant issue’ for firefighters, with Lincolnshire Fire Service having responded to 33 incidents related to barbecue usage last year. Fires can start, Moss explained, when these single-use trays are used inappropriately or not disposed of correctly. While acknowledging the enjoyment derived from these items, Moss stressed the necessity of caution, asking the public to remain vigilant.
