#grass-fires

Grass fires are commonly caused by human behaviour, whether that be accidental or deliberate. Whilst it can be difficult to determine the causes of these types of fires, the use of disposable BBQs and careless discarding of cigarettes are regularly the cause of outdoor fires. It is also important to place your rubbish with you, if a suitable bin isn't available as it can ignite and quickly start a fire.

More than two hundred firefighters tackled three separate grass fires in east London on Monday evening. The fires burned eight hectares of grass, shrubland, and trees.
