Unfortunately this was the result of two disposable BBQs on the fell side.
With the hot weather and the large number of visitors we are expecting over the coming weeks, we respectfully ask everyone to be aware of the potential dangers and act responsibly 🙏♨️🏕

We'd also love you to tag us in pictures of disposable barbecues on sale so we can directly ask the retailer to take them off the shelves. Firefighters heroics last week prevented any deaths from the excessive grass fires we faced. Now we need your help.

With another prolonged dry spell forecast, sad to see @Tesco #Glossop prominently stocking disposable barbecues which are often the source of moorland wildfires in the @peakdistrict - other local supermarkets have removed them from sale - theguardian.com/environment/… – at Glossop, England

@LeaveTheBBQ warm weather is here you dont need a bbq on your trip out Fires are devastating Leave it at home and take sandwiches @BBCCountryfile @nationaltrust @yorkshire_dales @RSPBEngland
Of course they will - come on @marksandspencer #BeAResponsibleRetailer and stop encouraging people to light fires in our countryside - it’s banned in large parts of the @peakdistrict
@LeaveTheBBQ
This was @marksandspencer #Macclesfield today.
"Bring on Summer Picnics" and "Forest Friendly". I did read beyond the big letters but anyone stupid enough to use these in the countryside will take it as permission to use in the local forrest.

@Tesco @bmc @LeaveTheBBQ @cprepdsy @PeakChief @moorsforfuture
Tesco - seriously? There are moorland and forest fires everyday at present, destroying endangered bird nests, vegetation, etc. and releasing carbon and you are selling 'Forest Friendly' disposable BBQs? No sure thing.

Received this from @FieldStudiesC highly irresponsible given the regularity & destruction caused by wildfires to our countryside, many started by illegal campfires @LeaveTheBBQ People should be encouraged to take a picnic not light a fire @peakdistrict @lakedistrictnpa
