The buffoons (stronger words are available) at Sainsbury's are still selling these ****** things. I've compained but nothing is done. Wonder if South Yorkshire Fire Service should complain at Archer Road; they might be listened to.

An interesting idea! I’ll try and ask them if they’ve thought about it. Ta for that.

It’s heartbreaking. Portable barbecues should just be banned!

I live in Ringinglow Village. We are beyond heartbroken at this senseless act and horrific loss. Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who was involved in getting the fire under control and keeping the village safe.

You and your neighbours were the first folk I thought about when the reports said the fire was at Lady C’s. Sounds like the firefighters did an amazing job in terrible circumstances.

Heartbreaking to think of all the wildlife lost last night. Interesting to hear that litter can also cause moorland fires too. Hope this spreads awareness of how we can help to prevent something like this happening again in future.

Thanks Emily. Yes, I gather bottles and glass in particular are fire hazards, especially in hot summers. They can also trap small animals.
