The discarded barbecue sparked concern, with Whinlatter s fire risk remaining high despite the wet weather Picture: Forestry England Just weeks after a wildfire ripped through a Cumbrian forest, a discarded barbecue has been found at the same beauty spot – and a warning has been issued. On April 23, a wild land fire at Whinlatter Forest, near Keswick, was tackled by six Cumbria Fire and Rescue (CFRS) appliances. The blaze covered 100m by 100m of the forest, and thankfully nobody was injured in the incident. And while it is believed the fire was not started by a barbecue or campfire, Forestry England has raised concerns after a disposable barbecue was found – used and abandoned next to a sign stating the area is of high fire risk – at Whinlatter earlier this week.
Firefighters have launched a campaign to help stop preventable deaths in house fires. As part of a new initiative, Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service will highlight the importance of smoke alarms every month. Staff will check in on the most vulnerable, carry out free visits and encouraging people to check their relatives, especially older, have a working smoke alarm on each floor of their home. Firefighters in Cumbria were called to 360 property fires over the last three years where there was no working smoke alarm fitted. Five resulted in deaths. Craig Drinkald, head of community safety, said: “These tragic deaths and incidents are often completely preventable. If you know someone who is over 50, smokes, lives alone or has mobility issues – we need you to help us reach them. Call 0800 917 9994
