There is a Fab couple, who earlier updated their status that they'd seen 6, maybe more, fire engines going across on the ferry 
I hope everyone is ok and safe  |

From what I understand it was ~30 vehicles and ~90 firefighters this afternoon, and several will be there most of the night - there was still a fair bit of smoke as the sun set.
I'd suggest reading through twitter/local news in the morning to check the situation. |

"The National trust are saying:
Due to a recent fire at Studland, we are advising that people avoid the area while Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service work to contain and extinguish it. "
Seems like a good idea to stay away then!
Cheers! |

This morning: Fire crews have been largely scaled back, but the heath is still alight. The Ferry Road is still closed and the ferry still suspended - so no chance of anyone reaching the nudist beach today!
Thankfully everyone in the village okay (I have family there)  |

"Ferry has just started running again and parking is allowed in the car parks only, which are filling very quickly.
Might be worth parking sandbanks/poole side and crossing ferry on foot."
Ah...thanks. Yes, I've just this minute seen some Fabbers update their statuses. That's great news and a good idea to park at Sandbanks and walk over |

"Probably some twat with a BBQ "
I called it yesterday.
Some fucking idiot.
I can imagine the thought process.
" I can have a fucking BBQ if I want, nobody is gonna tell me what to do trying to stop my freedoms"
Even if it costs hundreds of thousands in wages for emergency services and puts lives and valuable wildlife in danger as long as they can have their burgers that's all that matters eh. |

I really hope that none of the lovely people of Fab were involved ... but Dorset police report that more than 300 cars have not only ignored the 'No Parking' on Ferry Road today, but they moved sections of the hoses (that the firefighters are still using), just so they could park!! What utter selfish f**kwits !! |

"Pretty sure I read somewhere that some shops were stopping selling disposable BBQ's because of things like this.
Yes, Sainsbury's and the Co-op, for two."
Sainburys (and tesco) yes.. totally withdrawn until conditions improve
The Co-op (and Morrisons) are only withdrawing them in stores near national parks etc
This, to me, is not enough |
