Retailers in Ireland are being asked to stop selling disposable barbecues for the duration of a Status Orange wildfire warning. The request is aimed at reducing the risk of ignition during a period when weather conditions increase the likelihood that fires could start and spread. The move involves retailers temporarily suspending sales of these products until the wildfire alert is lifted. The guidance is presented as part of wider fire-prevention measures associated with the Status Orange alert. Both reports state that the instruction is time-limited and linked specifically to the ongoing wildfire warning. The overall message is that disposable barbecues can pose a fire hazard, and limiting availability during the warning period is intended to help lower potential causes of new fires. The request does not change how other barbecue products may be sold, and it is framed as an instruction to retailers rather than a permanent ban.
