Firefighters called after Chinese lantern sets tree alight in Chalkwell Park (From Echo)

• "How is it possible for these things not to have been banned by now? You should have to produce ID to buy them, that way for each and every one you purchase, a fine for littering, a charge of attempted arson and cruelty to animals can be posted to you, after all, you are essentially setting fire to rubbish and letting it float off into the sky to land where it may, potentially causing houses, barns, cars, stables, fields, ect, to be reduced to a pile of ashes with possible loss of life, not to mention the now many recorded cases of these things horribly injuring or killing wildlife, livestock and pets, through burns, ingestion or getting trapped in the remains!"
