West Mercia Police Every year in the UK around 1,700 farm buildings and 66,000 acreas of grassland are destroyed by fire. While arson attacks on farms and small holdings may be difficult to eliminate, a number of simple precautions can substantially reduce the risk of attack.
Tips to consider: - Hay and Straw should be removed from fields as soon as possible after harvesting.
- Hay and straw should be stored, separately from other buildings, particularly those housing fuels, agrochemicals and machinery.
- In stacks of a reasonable size, spaced at least 10 metres apart.
- Separately from livestock housing - Petrol, diesel and other fuels should be stored in secure areas and storage tank outlets should be padlocked.
- Fertilisers and pesticides should be kept under lock and key.
- Rubbish should be disposed of safely and on a regular basis.
