Fire crews have issued a stark warning after teams worked to tackle a barbecue blaze in Braintree. The team took to Tortoiseshell Way yesterday (April 23) around 6.15pm after a gas barbecue had caught alight. On arrival, crews reported that the fire had spread to the gas cylinder. In a bid to get the fire under control, firefighters allowed the gas to vent off while tackling the blaze with water. Thanks to their efforts, it was extinguished by 7.53pm. Crew Manager Trevor Garrod from Braintree Fire Station said: “With the warmer weather coming and restrictions allowing us to have guests in our gardens, if you’re having a barbecue we’d urge you to check them over thoroughly before using them and make sure there are no faults.
