Good advice by London Fire Brigade following this fire which started from a disposable barbecue.
You must always be care careful when disposing off barbecues and cigarette ends as often these can start fires a long time after you think they have been extinguished.
Cigarette ends and disposable barbecues can still smoulder for hours in a rubbish bag so it’s important to take care not only when using a barbecue or having a cigarette but once you are finished with them.
