mojomonkey Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I believe there will be new legislation brought in in the new year to stop these unfortunate accidents. I can understand how you can have legislation to prosecute if the incident is not accidental but how do you have legislation to stop accidents?

cabbyl ushtey Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Environmental health are investigating the incident. Most of the fires around here are not accidents as the occur on a regular basis in the same places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the fires around here are not accidents as the occur on a regular basis in the same places. So if most of the fires are not accidents wouldn't it be more appropriate for the Police to investigate as opposed to "Environmental Health" Last Ten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabbyl ushtey Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I don't think there is any legislation at the moment to prevent people burning rubbish and action can only be taken if the smoke is blowing into someones house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or obscuring vision on a public highway - have to ban fog then. Builders burn all sorts of rubbish on building sites to save them carting it away & paying for disposal. At least gardeners don't usually burn hazardous waste - though they don't seem to give much thought to wildlife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
