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.

The London Fire Brigade responds to an average of six rescues a day, many of which involve people who are embarrassed or reluctant to seek help.
