Garden Bonfires

Wed, 04 May 2011 14:14:28 GMT

If rubbish cannot be collected, recycled or composted such as diseased or woody plant waste, a bonfire may be the best practicable way to dispose of it. Dont try to burn other household wastes. Things like plastics, rubber and painted/treated wood will give off poisonous fumes.

Farms

Wed, 04 May 2011 14:13:21 GMT

Farms are particularly vulnerable to arson attack. Their isolated location, open boundaries and readily ignitable combustibles (e.g. Hay/Straw) make them an easy target. Whilst arson attacks on farms and smallholdings may be difficult to eliminate, a number of simple precautions can substantially reduce the risk of attack and extent of damage.
