Disposable barbecue sparks emergency call out
A disposable barbecue discarded against a wooden bar in a garden sparked an emergency call-out in Goosnargh, say fire services.
Two crews from Fulwood and Longridge were called to the incident which happened at around 2am on July 7 at a property in Church Lane following reports of smouldering wood in a back garden.
A spokesman for the fire service said: "We attended a garden fire where a disposable barbecue was left on top of a wooden structure.

"If you do use a disposable barbecue please make sure that it is properly out and disposed of carefully.
"Never place a hot disposable barbecue in a plastic bin."
Nobody was injured during the incident.
