"wildfire risk" extremely high..

[Frnc]

Good idea. Looks like most of England and Wales is very high risk

But if you play it, it goes to low. Rain is forecast.

I don't know what the resource is for Scotland. This was directed from the Met.

Time to bump this thread again I've added a longer range pulse / impact sprinkler to the pile for long range pre soaking / defensive fire fighting



This popped up on Facebook book earlier great idea a pre made sprinkler predominantly designed to protect Us homes with tar felt shingles and gutters full off debris but they way the UK is going how long till we see these .... You clip the head to the gutter and their is a thin painter line that been the us you use a wire staple to secure 5' off the floor and attach a sign next to it the local water fairys have maps of each house with the system shtf and yoh do t have time to get home they go round and pull the painter.. that releases a roll flat hose that screws to the us outside tap thread they turn it on for you and leave it running... This pre soaks the roof gutters and an area in front of the sprinkler location to try and hold back and advancing fire

Snip> the way the UK is going how long till we see these ....

Yeah you protect your house but get a £1000 fine because you broke the hosepipe ban

Well that should take care of any risk up here!

Severe alert received on my phone just now....... No shit sherlock.

A day late and a dollar short from the Govt.....

Now there's something you don't hear everyday: Both phones did the alert. Mentioned on Telly, so looks like a national alert.

I see that there’s a temporary ban on disposable BBQs, not sure if that’s up here or not.

Just had the national phone “emergency alert” warning about dangers of fires due barbecues etc.

Not relevant to us but shows the system works.
