Fire was out of control with no water on hand.  No one was hurt in teh taking of these photos!!

One way of getting your plot watered if you have a hosepipe ban.

i am fed up with people on our site who light bonfires then leave them unattended...go home in fact. We have such a low rainfall it's only a matter of time before the whole site burns. This sort of fire is potentially dangerous to the firemen putting it out and anyway who might get trapped if the fire got out of control aside from any damage to sheds or plots.

my goodness me that is some fire, and who know's what was in the shed.
good job no one was injured.
   June.

Our council have banned bonfires from April to October.

Fires not allowed on our site thank goodness....  ;D

 I am hoping that wasnt your plot nick.

weve oonly ever had one fire on ours a few weeks ago and it has to be kept small and under control as our boys are always with us at weekends.

That was some bonfire!!  Only a couple of chaps have fires on our site, thankfully, and they do wander off home leaving them.  There was an incident a few years ago where the fire moved underground and caught on another plot several plots away.  Eeek!

I very rarely light a fire on my plot when I do its to burn perennial weeds and couch grass I never leave the plot with the fire still burning or even smouldering that's why when I get home I smell like a smoked kipper

Not my plot or shed and it happened a month or so back.  The shed was really old and the timber dry and brittle - frankly I'm surprised there was anything for the FB to put out..
It was one of our old boys who should have known better!
