A UK fire chief has urged the Government to consider a 'total ban' on disposable barbecues - as the country braces itself for a potential second summer heatwave.
The warning follows on from London Fire Brigade's 'busiest week' in history last week, through a number of weather -related emergencies and fires.
London’s Fire Commissioner Andy Roe said "urgent action" was needed, calling for a national ban on disposable barbecues - which he added could cause "untold damage".
