农民、地主、消防人士以及自由民主党和多位工党议员共同呼吁在英格兰和威尔士临时禁止销售一次性烧烤架，以应对野火风险。[1]英国今年因创纪录热浪和严重干旱导致的野火已影响全国各地，超过20,000公顷土地被烧毁。[1]许多地区遭受的干旱程度为自1976年以来最严重。[1]
国家农民工会副主席Tompkins表示，野火对农业生产的威胁极大："一根流浪的火柴或单个火花，数月的辛苦工作可在几分钟内被摧毁。"[1]当前，大多数大型超市已停止销售一次性烧烤架，但这类产品仍在小商店、五金店和网络渠道广泛出售。[1]
Farmers, landowners, firefighters, and politicians across England and Wales are demanding a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecues as the country battles an unprecedented wildfire crisis [1]. The push for restrictions comes as record-breaking heat waves and severe drought conditions have devastated the region, with more than 20,000 hectares (50,000 acres) of land burned so far this year [1]. The drought represents the most severe conditions in many areas since 1976 [1].
While most major supermarkets have already halted sales of single-use barbecues, the products remain widely available through smaller retailers, hardware stores, and online platforms [1]. The National Farmers Union deputy president Tompkins warned of the danger, stating: "A stray match or single spark can destroy months of hard work in minutes" [1]. Meanwhile, Gavin Lane, chairman of the Rural Estate and Business Association, has called for controlled burning as one of several justified methods to reduce fire hazards [1].
