In a bid to reduce the risk of wildfires, a government minister has indicated a crackdown on disposable barbecues that could see them banned across the UK.

Disposable barbecues are responsible for 4% of serious accidental fires in the UK and may be banned across the country.‘Disposable barbecues, if used correctly, do not, in themselves, pose a wildfire risk,’ said environmental minister Victoria Prentice.‘It is clear to me that we do not have enough data on the role that disposable barbecues play in wildfire incidents.

She added more research is being commissioned into the role of single-use grills in wildfires, following initial findings from the Home Office. Labour MP Holly Lynch highlighted this week that firefighters in West Yorkshire had already attended 75 wildfires this year, with most of them caused by ‘careless and reckless use’ of disposable barbecues.
