To think my neighbour is selfish tw*t for lighting a fire

[Vicksstick]

Ok so how many people, after receiving a government alert about wild fires asking them not to have fires in their garden, would then in fact go against that and light a big F off fire in their garden, well that would be my next door neighbour! We all live in close proximity in terraced houses and my neighbour thinks it’s a good idea to light a fire. The fact the fire is (for now) contained in a make shift fire pit makes no difference, I mean it’s twa**ish behaviour right?

Have you told him what a mega cunt he is?

That is truly extraordinary behaviour! Can you call the council? If they have noise officers available at this time of night (well, our council does) surely they have someone who can come knock on the door about a fire?

over winter I erroneously was accused by a neighbour of lighting bonfires in my garden and got a telling off letter from the council (I directed them to the neighbour who was in fact burning leaves)

Some people never learn. He is a twat. If the fire takes hold he will then say "Oh I made sure it was contained. Don't know what happened.
He is a brain dead moron.

I'd be ringing his doorbell and pointing out the Alert told people not to do this!

I would have put it out with my hose and called the police. What a twat.

19 houses completely burnt down, 18 houses damaged, fire fighters injured, half the country on fire, everyone in drought, Andy Burnham diverting his countrywide poor people tour, emergency alerts scaring the crap out of us all...there will always be one twatwaffle that thinks what they are doing doesn't count. My emergency alert definitely said no fire pits, douse him with a hose for his own safety
Edit:spelling

He’s a twat of the highest order.

I’d recommend calling the police

I'd be tempted to report it non emergency police. If they have officers available they may come and have a word with him. What a TWAZZOCK he is.
Autocorrect added all caps, I'm going to keep it as it's very apt.

Never mind being a twat, if a govt alert has just said don’t do fire pit fires, there ought to be scope to arrest him.

Get your hose on it. What a complete twat.

I like the idea of hosing it.do it OP!

i would leave the emergency services to deal with the high demand they already have rather than reporting someone who hasn’t yet caused a problem

Omg op call the bloody fire bridage now !!

It's an emergency ??

Anyone who sees any flames or fire of any sort call 999

He’s a twat, but not everyone got the alert. I didn’t.

Def don’t do this. They’re extremely over stretched dealing with wild fires.

of course, should it catch/ spread they’ll need to be called

Not if it’s not an actual emergency. The fire brigade are busy enough dealing with real emergencies.

I think breaching the hosepipe ban to lean over the fence and put the dumb fucks fire out would be appropriate

The fire bridage will triage you they woidn rather put out a fire pit than deal with a fire that gets hold. What about the dying embers as everyone is asleep ?

Let the emergency services triage this. If you really think it's contained then the non emergency police number.
He's not being a twat he's being a potential property /life destroyer.

Our ndn has been firing up the pizza oven this evening and filling our house with smoke.

Won't surprise you to know their lawn is also mysteriously pristine despite the hosepipe ban...

I’d call 101 op & report it,

what a knob

It could turn into an emgergency in seconds.

Call these people out !
101 !!
Don't leave them.

Call the police non-emergency line.

Just a reminder that when you call for any emergency the call handlers triage you

You can say...I'm not sure if this is 999 worthy but...and they will decide.

What doesn't happen is you call and automatcially trigger the police /ambulance or a fire engine. So tell them what's happened and let them , the experts triage you.

It's better to call and be told tby them what to do than not call and be killed in your sleep.

I'd be knocking on the door asking him to put the fire out. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he hadn't received the alert and simply hadn't thought.

But actually, I'd put money on him being the kind of arsehole who doesn't like to be told what to do and this is an act of rebellion. So maybe trying to be reasonable would (literally) fan the flames.
