Mr. Ronald Brown

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what advice has been issued to chief fire officers concerning the control of bonfires on which foamed plastics are burning; and if he will encourage each fire brigade to have efficient breathing apparatus available.

Mr. Lane

I have been asked to reply.

Chief fire officers are fully aware of the methods of dealing with fires involving foamed plastics. All brigades have efficient breathing apparatus available.
