Firefighters have appealed to supermarket bosses to ban disposable barbecues. In a number of social media posts, the London Fire Brigade yesterday (Friday, June 29) targeted management at several of Britain's store chains.
In a tweet to Morrisons referring to the chain's "make good things happen slogan", the brigade tweeted their message accompanied by a photo of one of the barbecues on sale there. And they asked bosses to remove the products from the shelves straight away.
The brigade, which has been dealing with many serious wildfires in the extreme heat and dry conditions of recent weeks, tweeted: "Evening, Morrisons, we wondered if you could help. You say make good things happen.
