Does. Not. Compute.
Two middle aged male local residents walking out of the quarries (after we told them to leave) telling us how disgraceful the behaviour is of ‘them ones’ that light fires in the woodlands and all go up Mam Tor causing a mess is.
One of them had literally seen the Froggatt Edge fire from his home – and went as far as thanking me for being one of the first on scene to help extinguish it.
Aloofness ?
Arrogance ?
Entitlement ?
Despite being found with a large bag of BBQ charcoal they in no way considered themselves to be the same risk as ‘them ones’ that light BBQs.
Is a fire that a local causes not the same as a fire that a visitor causes ?
🤯.
