英国首相安迪·伯纳姆表示政府将考虑在公共场所禁止使用一次性烧烤架，以应对持续肆虐的野火[1]。一次性烧烤架已被确认为近年多起严重火灾的主要原因[1]。
根据记录，2026年7月在Macclesfield, Cheshire发生的一场大型林火由一次性烧烤架引起[1]；同月在伦敦Feltham地区，六公顷荒地遭到破坏[1]。此外，苏格兰Trossachs的Glen Finglas在2025年5月发生火灾，覆盖面积约两公顷，火灾现场烧烤架上仍有汉堡残留[1]。
环保人士对该政策提出批评，认为它未能将这些火灾与更广泛的气候危机联系起来[1]。
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has stated that the government will consider imposing a ban on disposable barbecues in public spaces as a response to escalating wildfires across the country [1]. These single-use grills have been identified as a significant cause of recent major fire incidents, prompting officials to explore regulatory measures to prevent further outbreaks.
The consideration follows a series of documented incidents where disposable barbecues ignited destructive fires. In July 2026, a large-scale wildfire in Macclesfield, Cheshire was attributed to a disposable barbecue [1], while another fire the same month damaged six hectares of wasteland in Feltham, London [1]. An earlier incident in May 2025 at Glen Finglas in the Trossachs in Scotland burned across two hectares, with a barbecue grill still containing hamburgers discovered at the scene [1]. Environmental advocates have criticized the proposed approach, arguing that the government's focus on disposable barbecues fails to address the broader climate crisis underlying these fire incidents [1].
