#58: Choose a nickname - Fire risk

In response again to you Fire risk comments.

What is more likeley to catch fire, trees and woodland and heath, or heath.

Historically, fires have always started on the unwooded areas and always will.

The fires will always choose the areas you want to expand, heath.

The Dorset fires followed on from exactly the same scheme as is being carried out at Hartlebury Common.


At Hartlebury however, the risks are far higher because of an additional list of factors which elevate flamability.
