The MP allegedly stated the existing legislation to prevent moorland fires was \u201cadequate\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barbecues are permitted in public parks in Sheffield, but guidance suggests that those using them should use designated BBQ areas and take care to avoid the risk of fire.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The moorland fire in Sheffield is now out and firefighters have come away.<\/p>\n<p>Please take extra care if visiting moorland areas. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uhoUas3WCo\">pic.twitter.com\/uhoUas3WCo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; South Yorkshire Fire (@SYFR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SYFR\/status\/1383719063025688578?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 18, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The campaign comes after firefighters were called to a moorland fire near Ringinglow Road, Sheffield, on April 17.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fire, attended to by six fire engines from the South Yorkshire Fire Service, was thought to be caused by a disposable BBQ.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jane Prout could see the fire from her home on School Green Lane, roughly two miles from where the blaze took place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ms Prout said: \u201cThe fire was clearly out of control, it stretched over an alarming proportion of the horizon.
