External fire prevention considerations for thatch


External fires

Do not light bonfires, barbeques or discharge fireworks or Chinese lanterns where there is a risk that sparks or debris could land on the thatch.

Never be tempted to speed things up by adding lighter fuel, paraffin diesel or petrol.

Make sure that your neighbours are aware of the potential dangers of Bonfires and Fireworks and the risks they pose to your thatched property


Outside the property

Provide an outside tap with a hose connected, lagged against the frost.

For the fire service, be aware of the nearest hydrant or potential source of water eg pond or river.
