Yet another Heath fire in Dorset...

Arsonists set alight Canford Heath, Dorset last night. A number of deliberate fires were started. Fire crews tackling the blaze all night. Approx 7 hectares ablaze.

 

What is wrong with people? What thought processes do people have, to think that such a mindless act is a positive action.....

 

It seems to happen every year.

was waiting for it to happen. that the idiots would be out causing mindless damage to a native heathland. can not understand. i know we do not get that many or that big a fire. but why can there not be a water tanker aircraft be available to drop on these fires the amount dropped would put most out in no time saving on cost risk of injuries to fire personnel etc. must have something in this country. that can be hired. or do we not have anything in this country only abroad.

When Upton Heath was torched by youths the year before, the seagulls cleaned up. We have rare Sand lizards and smooth snakes here in Dorset heathlands and these creatures along with all the other wildlife gets destroyed.

that the trouble is all the rare or not so rare species of snakes lizards birds etc which perish in the flames. i know its not human rights. but if they do catch them. then maybe the magistrate should make them do volunteer work putting out the fires that there friends light. maybe the message may get home. or put them in stocks in poole. nice rotten fruit order of the day

sorry to hear they've been at it again this year Yaffle, The fire service does a great and valuable job dealing with these heath fires......maybe the arsonists should be forced to clean the fire services vehicles and explain face to face to the firemen why they do such stupid things...:thumbdown:

Hate to say it guys....... but you probably have'nt seen anything yet!

 

With the "heatwave" forecasted to last into next month and the schools about to finish for the summer holidays I would'nt be surprised 100's; 1000's probably 100's of 1000's of acres of heath, moor, wood and forest going up in smoke this summer. :thumbdown:
