Compost Bin Blaze Reveals Hidden Gas Danger
Firefighters from Tadley were called out on Monday to tackle a fire that started in a compost bin. The flames quickly spread to a nearby fence, turning a small blaze into a serious hazard.
Hidden Gas Bottles Nearly Made It Worse
Once the fire was under control, crews discovered two 15kg gas bottles—one propane, one butane—right in the heart of the flames. What seemed like a simple fire could have turned deadly in seconds.
