I live by Epping Forest and despite constant warnings and the fact that they are forbidden in the forest, people continue to use disposable bbqs.
A couple of weeks ago a fire (was) started in the conservation area opposite our road. There is no access for fire engines so the fireman had to carry water in packs on their backs to put it out. Those poor guys!
Today we were reminded that even sparks from a fire source in a garden that neighbours the forest can cause a fire. Hoping that people take notice.
